Termite Control and Treatment Costs in Oklahoma

Oklahoma Termite Treatments

Subterranean termites are the most common and destructive termite in the U.S. Subterranean, by definition, means "situated or operating beneath the earth's surface; underground." These insects make their home (a nest or colony) primarily in the soil or wood beneath the soil. They tunnel through the ground, searching for trees, brush and other decaying wood (preferred) found in nature. If this primary source is reduced or absent, termites look to other food sources, mainly, your home.

Termites easily access a home through wood in contact with the soil. Annual inspections by termite control companies are highly recommended. An Oklahoma termite specialist can save a homeowner thousands of dollars in home repair bills by conducting routine termite inspections on a regular basis.

Termites are social insects. A mature termite colony may number in the millions, with each member fulfilling a defined biological role. The castes, not including nymphs (immature termites), are called workers, soldiers and reproductives. Typically, a queen and king reside in a mature colony. Winged adults are referred to as "swarmers." They emerge from the colony and take flight (swarm) during certain seasons of the year, usually late winter to early spring. This marks the beginning of the termite reproductive cycle, as the swarmers are the primary reproductives. Swarming is also significant, as it is during this time that they are most likely to be spotted by humans.

People often confuse swarming termites with flying ants. There are distinctive differences, however. In order to distinguish a termite from a winged ant, compare the visual biological differences:

Ants have a narrow, wasp-like waist (more "cinched" in the middle of the body). Termites do not have a defined waist
Ant wings are about equal to the body size, with the fore and hind wings of unequal length. Termites have four wings of equal length that are nearly twice as long as their bodies
Ant antennae are L-shaped, with a "bend," while termite antennae are straight
