Quick Termite Facts
Termite infestations don’t always get detected right away. Unfortunately, this means that by the time they are found out, they may have quietly been destructive. Their destruction compromises the integrity of your home’s structure. Their mission is to saw through wood with their sharp little jaws. This is why it is so important to detect their presence early!
Two Termites in Oregon
We’ve two types of termites that make the Pacific Northwest their home. The Dampwood and the Subterranean termites. The Dampwood is the largest termite in all of North America. They can grow up to 5/8ths of an inch and are reddish brown in color. Because they thrive off of regular contact with moisture, Oregon is a happy home for this termite. It also means that any leaks you may have in your home are an attractant.
The Subterranean termites are a light cream color and are about 3/8ths of an inch. But just like Dampwood termite, they love moisture. You can try preventing their destructive presence by keeping mulch and wood piles away from the siding on your home.
