The subterranean termite is common in many states along the east coast. Areas in Maryland like Pikesville, Towson, Lochearn, and Catonsville are local areas where subterranean termites can be found.
Name: Termite
Class: Insect
Color: Workers are white; reproducing termites are brown to black
Size: 1/18″ Legs:6
Diet: Products containing cellulose (mostly wood)
Natural Predators: Ants, ant eaters, woodpeckers
Hazard: Destroy wood, damage homes
Interesting Fact: The queen of a termite colony may lay 6,000 to 7,000 eggs per day, and may live 15 to 50 years.
Eastern subterranean termites (like most termites) eat cellulose that can be found in many items including mulch, tree stumps, paper, and even insulation in your home’s wooden wall studs.
Termites live underground, travel through mud tubes, and consume wood from the inside, which makes them hard to detect. You might not know you have termites until it’s too late and the damage is irreparable.
- Look for wings. When termites are ready to start a new colony in Maryland, they come to the surface in large numbers to reproduce. Though you may not see the swarm itself, you may find wings that have been dropped by the reproductive termites. These wings could be in your floorboards, windowsills,
or basement. - Keep an eye out for mudtubes. Termites build mud tubes to travel between different locations in your home. If you find one, break it and check later to see if it’s been fixed and if termites are active on
your property. - Check the integrity of your wood. If you suspect you might have termites, check wooden beams and studs that you have access to. The wood will be hollowed out if termites have gotten to it.
- Establish adequate drainage for rainwater. Termites are attracted to moisture, so make sure your gutters are not leaking and soil in your yard drains well.
- Keep wood piles and other wood debris, like wood retaining walls, away from your home.
- Make sure mulch is never deeper than 3 inches and replace the decaying mulch every year—don’t let it accumulate.
- Don’t leave tree stumps in the ground after you’ve taken down large trees. The decaying wood is likely to attract termites.
