What You Need To Know About Native Eastern Subterranean Termites?
If you have ever found yourself tapping on a wall and hearing a hollow sound, you know that sinking feeling in your stomach — the one where you immediately wonder, “Is something eating my house from the inside?” Unfortunately, when it comes to Native Eastern Subterranean Termites, that’s not an overreaction. These little pests are masters of working quietly, hidden away in the soil and wood, all while causing damage that can cost thousands to repair.The real problem? By the time you spot the signs, they’ve probably been there for years. Native Eastern Subterranean Termites are one of the most destructive termite species in the eastern U.S. They live underground in massive colonies — sometimes hundreds of thousands strong — and they’re relentless when it comes to finding food. That “food” is anything with cellulose in it: the wood in your home’s frame, your hardwood floors, and even old cardboard boxes in your basement.You might also hear them called Native Eastern Termites, but don’t let the simpler name fool you. They’re just as persistent and just as damaging.
