2. ABOUT US Texas, with its warm climate and abundance of wood resources, provides a fertile ground for various termite species. These silent destroyers can wreak havoc on homes and businesses, often going undetected until significant structural damage has occurred. Understanding the different types of termites in Texas, their life cycles, preferred habitats, and colony sizes is crucial for effective prevention and control.

3. COMMON SPECIES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS • Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes spp.): These are the most common and destructive termites in Texas. They live in underground colonies and build intricate tunnel systems to forage for cellulose, their primary food source found in wood, paper, and other plant-based materials. • Drywood Termites (Incisitermes spp.): Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites do not require contact with the soil. They live entirely within the wood they infest, obtaining moisture from the wood itself. • Dampwood Termites (Zootermopsis spp.): As their name suggests, dampwood termites thrive in wood with high moisture content.

4. THE TERMITE LIFE CYCLE: A BLUEPRINT FOR INFESTATION • Egg: The termite life cycle begins with eggs laid by the queen within the colony. • Nymph: Upon hatching, the eggs develop into nymphs, which are immature termites that resemble smaller versions of the adults. Nymphs go through several molts, gradually developing into different castes (workers, soldiers, or reproductives). • Adult: The final stage includes the development of distinct castes:

5. WHERE TEXAS TERMITES ESTABLISH THEIR COLONIES • Subterranean Termites: Their primary habitat is the soil, where they build extensive underground colonies. They require moisture and access wood in contact with the ground or through mud tubes they construct to bridge gaps between the soil and wooden structures. • Drywood Termites: These termites live entirely within the wood they infest. They can establish colonies in dry wood above ground, such as structural timbers, furniture, door frames, and even wooden musical instruments. They do not require soil contact.
