Arid Land Subterranean Termite Identification & Castes; Kings, Queens, Workers, Soldiers & Swarmers (Alates)

Throughout Texas, there is an assortment of termites running rampant; Arid Land Subterranean Termites are among them. Much like their other subterranean cousins, they are very similar in appearance, having dark brown-black colored bodies that are approximately 3/8” long. Their castes include workers, soldiers, and swarmers that will become kings and queens. Kings and queen are in the center chamber being catered to by the worker class. The queen lays thousands of eggs a day. While the workers literally do everything from taking care of the young, to building the colony, to foraging, and feeding the soldiers, they are the most abundant. Soldiers are equipped with mandibles that are designed to fend off the predators that attempt to invade. They are the first to show themselves in the event a passageway collapses and is in need of repair before the workers emerge to make the repairs.

Arid Land Subterranean Termite Swarmers

Swarmers have wings, but will shed them when they have established a new colony. They are the reproducers and will mate when it is time to start a fresh colony. Swarmers are typically the most active in spring when they are looking to mate and begin new colonies. If they have set up in your home or business you may have noticed their shed wings around the windows or doors along with mud tube-like structures throughout the building.

Arid Land Subterranean Termite Damage

The major difference that separates the Arid Land Subterranean Termite from their counterparts is the fact that they are the least likely to be causing the damage to your home or business as they are more likely to consume the wood from the brush, cut wood, dead tree limbs from living trees and animal manures. They will also devour greasewood and creosote and when they do attack structures it is because the natural wood choices are significantly reduced or removed from their options.
