¿Qué son las termitas?
Una termita pertenece a la familia de insectos destructores de la madera que se alimentan de madera, productos de papel o material de celulosa. Aquí en Florida, normalmente encontramos tres tipos diferentes de termitas, que son las termitas subterráneas , las termitas de madera seca y las termitas de madera húmeda. Las termitas causan miles de millones de dólares en daños a empresas y hogares cada año. Las termitas representan una gran amenaza para los propietarios de viviendas, más que los tornados, rayos, incendios y huracanes combinados. Se estima que por cada ser humano en la tierra, ¡puede haber 1,000 libras de termitas! Estas son solo un par de razones menores para proteger su propiedad de las termitas subterráneas, las termitas de madera seca y el daño que causan. Durante años, Imperial Pest Prevention ha empleado las técnicas de tratamiento de termitas subterráneas y de madera seca más tecnológicamente avanzadas, al tiempo que ofrece un servicio de la más alta calidad y precios competitivos en la industria del control de plagas .

¿Qué tipo de termitas hay en Florida?
Termitas subterráneas
Subterranean termites come from the Isoptera insect order, which has lived on earth for millions of years. There are three forms of subterranean termites: workers, soldiers, and swarmers. Each of these forms, ' castes,' has specific characteristics. Subterranean termites construct mud tubes known as shelter tubes or tunnels. Subterranean Termites require constant earth contact and build these" Mud Tubes" to shelter themselves from predators and create a highway to food sources they feed. The Subterranean termite is called subterranean because it lives underground;
Las termitas subterráneas provienen del orden de los insectos Isoptera, que ha vivido en la tierra durante millones de años. Hay tres formas de termitas subterráneas: trabajadores, soldados y enjambres. Cada una de estas formas, 'castas', tiene características específicas. Las termitas subterráneas construyen tubos de barro que también se conocen como túneles o tubos de refugio. Las termitas subterráneas requieren un contacto constante con la tierra y construyen estos "tubos de barro" para protegerse de los depredadores y crear una carretera hacia las fuentes de alimentos en las que se alimentan. La termita subterránea apoda el nombre de subterráneo porque vive bajo tierra; las colonias subterráneas pueden consistir en millones; por esta razón, las termitas subterráneas son las especies de termitas más destructivas. Las termitas son una fuente de energía constante que no duerme. Se alimentan constantemente las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana y los 365 días del año sin parar con mandíbulas que destruyen fácilmente la madera a un ritmo rápido. Si no se tratan, las termitas subterráneas causarán daños masivos a la casa hasta el punto de que pueden volverse estructurales y, en última instancia, resultar en reparaciones costosas. Si sospecha que hay una infestación de termitas o si ve insectos alrededor, es mejor comunicarse con un especialista en control de plagas como Imperial Pest Prevention (386) o con nosotrosal 956-9506, para que podamos realizar una inspección de WDO y discutir Opciones de tratamiento de termitas subterráneas .
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites, wood-destroying insects, generally live, feed, and nest in wood containing deficient moisture levels. Drywood Termites do not require earth contact as Subterranean termites do. In Florida, we are in a very humid state.
Because of this, undamaged wood like that in your home contains a moisture content to a certain degree. This amount of moisture is enough for drywood termites to pull a food and moisture source, resulting in them thriving.
A byproduct of Drywood Termites feeding is fecal pellets known as frass. Frass is small 6-sided concave pellets resembling coffee grounds and is extremely hard. These small pellets are usually how a homeowner finds out that Drywood Termites feed on their home. Often, a homeowner sees them in a neat little pile and cleans or vacuums them up, only to find them quickly return.
If you suspect a termite infestation or see insects around, it is best to contact a pest control specialist like Imperial Pest Prevention; call us at (386) 956-9506 so we can perform a WDO Inspection and discuss Drywood termite treatment options. Since Drywood Termites do not require ground contact, they have also been known to infest furniture. Many documented cases exist, especially with antique collectors who buy a secondhand piece of furniture to discover later that it had Drywood Termites. Drywood termites will not discriminate against any wood, contrary to many people's beliefs. They will readily consume timbers, framing, flooring, and other types of woodwork in buildings and furniture.
If you notice any possible signs of termites, we recommend you contact us at (386) 956-9506, so we can evaluate what you may be seeing. Drywood Termite treatments can be as simple as a spot treatment and as severe as needing a tent fumigation specialist. To see treatment options, please click this link for Termite Treatment Options.
