The White Termite

White termites, often referred to as “worker termites,” are visible when you disrupt their mud tubes or infested wood. These termites typically appear creamy yellow-white or pale tan. If you find them in your home, it suggests that a termite colony is attacking the structure1. Termites, in general, are detritophagous eusocial insects that consume decaying plant material, such as wood, leaf litter, and soil humus. Despite being commonly called “white ants,” they are not ants and are only distantly related to them2. If you encounter white termites, it’s essential to address the infestation promptly to prevent further damage. 🐜🏠 call us
