Termite colonies are usually located in the ground, but secondary colonies have been observed in the wood of structures with moisture problems. Small pencil sized mud tubes can be seen emerging from the ground and making contact with the structure. Termite damage can be differentiated from rotting wood and carpenter ants damage by the large amount of mud that is packed into the wood. Often small mud mounds can be observed on interior painted surfaces with a small pin hole underneath the mud spot. They are hard bodied and dark brown to almost black in color.
All castes have non-elbowed antennae and have a two part body segmented at the head.
Wings or sawdust inside window sills, around doors, or in the garage. Buckling paint or tiny holes on interior walls.
