Some termites require more work than others, and some do more damage. Removing drywood termites is typically a lengthier and more involved process that requires top to bottom fumigation because they live inside of the wood. Drywood termites can also live in wood for years without the property owner’s knowledge.
However, subterranean termites – specifically Formosan termites – tend to do more damage. They are easier to find and treat, but if left unchecked, the amount of costly damage they do to a property can be far greater.
That said, all kinds of termites can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time, necessitating repairs that can cost thousands of dollars.
