Drywood Termite

Drywood Termite
Introduction

They build their home inside structures, so that it is hard to detect them. You could find the signs of infestation, such as small holes and pellets.

Biology

Termite couples can create nest inside their chosen wood. They do seal the entrance. Queen lays her first eggs inside a new chamber. Nymphs take responsibility on works of the colony when they grow enough and soldiers and reproductives develop also. Different from subterranean termite colonies, there is no worker caste. 

Habits

Drywood termite colonies are smaller and may contain about 10,000 termites only. Drywood termites can damage all kinds of wood in building. Such as, structural timbers, woodwork, furniture and other wooden items. A bit fortunately, drywood termites are less widespread. So, they usually cause less damage than subterranean termites.
