Pests We Treat : Termites

Termites in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland are similar in appearance to ants. However, unlike ants, they do not have a distinctive head and body area. Instead, the termite is the same width from the top of the head to its bottom.

Worker termites that cause damage to homes and buildings are typically white. Winged termites, likely those in your home, are typically red/brown, although winged termites can be black. These flying termites, known as termite swarmers, signify that a termite colony is growing and reproducing.

Signs you may have a termite infestation include finding the discarded wings of termites, stuck windows/doors, mud tubes outside your home, tiny holes in your wall, and termite droppings.
