What Are Drywood Termites?
It can be very difficult to detect an invasion of Drywood Termites. In fact, it’s not unusual for a home to be damaged extensively before an infestation is found. They live inside the wood, almost completely out of sight. The most common signs of Drywood Termites that people notice are tiny holes in wood and fecal pellets on the floor, which are pushed out of those holes by the termites. This is evidence of a mature colony.
This species of termites live in colonies of up to about 5,000, which includes the queen, king, soldiers, nymphs, and pseudergates, also known as false workers. The following are some of the descriptive features of various types of Drywood Termites:
- Alates or winged reproductives are pale brown to reddish-brown Drywood Termites.
- They are cylindrical in shape, and their bodies are hardened.
- They have four equally sized wings that extend longer than their body.
- The soldiers and nymphs are cream-colored. Their bodies are soft. These types of Drywood Termites are usually hidden inside wood or some other type of cellulosic material.
- They range in length from 3/8” to ½”.
Drywood termites are most commonly found in older homes that have sound, non-decayed wood. They build their colonies in wood frames, fascia boards, wood flooring, attics, doors, furniture, and window sills. When they initially get into a home, the winged termites known as alates or swarmers make their way inside through openings and cracks in the wood. Drywood termites have adapted to dry environments by developing a more impermeable cuticle that better retains body moisture. They are also able to resorb moisture from their feces, and this process is what gives their excrement a unique hexagonal shape.
Advantages of No-Tent Treatment
An enormous amount of inconvenience is involved with tenting a home for termite treatment. Among the unavoidable hassles is that homeowners must vacate their home for a two-day-period and possibly longer. Careful preparatory steps need to be taken, for safety reasons. For example, all uncanned foods must be removed and tree-trimming may be required.

How Does Our Drywood Termites No Tent Termite Control Work?
South Florida is a big draw for many species of termites, due to the warm and humid climate. Drywood termites are among the most common in the state. Our No Tent Termite Control is proven to be effective. We have trained professionals who perform the following steps to wipe out any size or scale of drywood termite infestation.
- Our advanced non-repellent product is directly injected into termite galleries.
- Next, contact with the treated surface is made by the termites.
- The product is distributed to the entire termite colony in what is called the “transfer effect,” once the worker termites return there.
- The queen of the colony eventually makes contact with the liquid termite treatment solution, and that is what kills off the entire termite colony.
