Florida is a terrific home for termites.  Although no one has ever been happy about having termites present in their home – they are quite common throughout South Florida. At Florida Pest Control Center our team of experienced pest control technicians know all too well about these damaging insects.  Here we take a look at 10 interesting facts about termites.  

• Termites do not actually sleep.  They are awake 24/7 eating, burrowing, and building nests.
• Termites take care of their young as a group, all staying together.
• Once termites have nested in their new home, they will shed their wings.
• Termites do not have functional eyes except for the king and queen termites.  Most termites are blind and communicate through vibrations and pheromones.
• Termites swarm in order to mate and start new colonies.
• The main predator for termites is ants. 
• Termite queens can lay up to 30,000 eggs a day.  That can be 11 million eggs in one year.
• The queen termite queen live longer than any other insect – up to 30 to 50 years.
• There are two main types of termites – subterranean termites and drywood termites. Each type requires a different method of extermination.
• Termites are expensive – causing approximately $5 billion in damages every year in the U.S. alone.

If you suspect any kind of termite infestation, contact our team of licensed pest control professionals to conduct an inspection and develop an effective action plan for removal.  Termite colonies can grow exponentially so it is vital that you act fast.
