How a Termite Infestation Begins
Termites like dark and moist areas, gravitating below the surface of the wood causing it to swell. There are two main ways that termites may come to infest your house; by air and through the ground. Here are ways discussing how termites enter your home.
- Drywood termite infestation typically occurs when an existing colony sends out flying termite swarmers. Once these swarmers find a wooden crevice in your home, they shed their wings, carve out a little nest, and begin laying eggs to start a brand new termite colony.
- Subterranean termites, whose colonies are underground, may enter your home through its foundations. As these termites forage for food, they may stumble upon a rich new food source – your house. Subterranean termites commonly build mud tunnels over foundation walls to access the wooden parts of the structure. Subterranean termites are responsible for 95% of termite damage in the United States.
Termite Misconceptions

- It is impossible to apply a perfect “barrier” around your home where every square inch of your foundation is covered. It’s inevitability that small gaps will exist as a potential entrance allowing termites into the structure unharmed.
- It is probable that many termite colonies are living near the foundation of your home. Termites found in monitoring devices outside do not always attack a house.
