Termites are small, rice sized insects with translucent bodies. They can live in nests in the soil under the home or above ground in nests made from gnawing a hollow in wood. Subterranean termites build mud tubes along walls to allow them to move from one eating location to another. This is because they have very delicate bodies and need warm, humid conditions to survive. The mud tubes are also made with wood and saliva and protect the termites from the harsh outside world. For all of these reasons, they can be hard to notice. To be sure your home is termite free, it’s a good idea to arrange a termite inspection.
