Research from the University of Florida indicates that two invasive species of termites, Formosa and Asian termites, are cross-breeding in South Florida. This alarming development could exacerbate termite damage in homes, as these species account for half of global termite damage. Homeowners are urged to look for signs of these infestations, such as mud tubes, shed wings, hollow-sounding wood, and termite droppings, to mitigate potential damage. Experts emphasize the importance of education on identifying these signs to protect properties.
Termites build mud tubes so they can travel from their underground colonies into your home. You'll usually see them on foundation walls, crawl space supports, or even on the inside of walls.
Swarmers are reproductive termites that leave the colony to start new ones, and they drop their wings shortly after. This is a sure sign you have an active termite colony nearby.
