TERMITES HINTS
Prepared by Maher Jabado (www.maherjabado.com)
Termites can cause major structural damage
to homes and other buildings as well as wooden
furniture. People usually only see termites
inside when an infestation is already well
established, though you may also find termites
outside around dead tree stumps, rotting
boards or other detritus. Termite colonies
are divided into different classes, and most
termites only come out in the dark. The most
common class that you will see outside of
the colony is the alate class, or winged
termites. Winged termites are a reproductive
class and they swarm before they mate. You
can identify termites through their body
shape, legs and wings.
