Termite Tracks- How To Identify Them

There is no need to explain the extent of damage that termites can cause to your property and what's more strange is the thing that you will not get to know about it until the damage reaches the end limit. But, it's not your fault; actually, the termites attack the wood in a way that you even don't get to notice their footprints, pheromone-marked trails (between the food source and termite nest) or any other sign. 

It is only the pest control professionals that may help you to determine the termite tracks and their locations. Being aware of the different termite types and the possible entry points, the termite control professionals will detect the termite tracks within minutes. With the help of the advanced tools and in-depth knowledge, the professionals will determine the main spots where termites can be present. However, here we are going to tell you the ways by which the professionals determine the termite tracks.

• Drywood termites
  Drywood termites live within their food source. They create galleries by excavating the large rooms in the wood, these galleries are then connected via tunnels. They eat the harder grain of the wood and by digesting the wood, these termites create the galleries. Cellulose is totally removed from these galleries. As a result of this, fecal pellets, known as frass, is pushed aside to make a room for the termites to continue the consumption of the wood. When the frass is pushed aside, its mounds are built inside the galleries.
• Subterranean Termites
  Subterranean termites make their home in the soil, typically about 18 inches below the surface. However, they build mud tubes, above the ground, directly to the wood. Once they have located their food source, they work to break down the cellulose in the wood. This pattern is the termite tracks.
  Unlike drywood termites, the subterranean termites focus on the softer grain of the wood. The softer spring-wood is easily digested as compared to the harder summer-wood. Such a behavior gives a honeycombed appearance where the outside darker wood rings as is but the inside rings are removed by the termites.
