This is what makes this species of termite the most threatening to your home. They can go undetected for years within the walls of your home. Therefore the type of treatments can vary from treating the infested area locally, to whole house fumigation. The Drywood Termites like ants live in colonies.
Work is performed by immature termites within the wood members.
Partly digested wood is then excreted as pellets, small tan to reddish-brown or black droppings. These droppings are what Termite Inspectors look for during an Inspection. Flying Termites Certain times of the year, on warm days from the months as early as late February to as late as August in California the king and queen termites emerge from the colonies for the purpose of flights to establish new colonies. Shortly after their wings break off, they look for a crack or crevice to start a new colony. Treating for drywood termites locally involves injecting the wood with foam and liquid insecticides.
