Overview of Termite
a.
The two most common types of termites
are "dry wood" and "ground," or
subterranean termites.
b.
Termites need moisture to survive and will
die if exposed to sunlight or open air for
more than a few minutes. Their tunnels
protect them from the elements.
c.
High moisture areas like basements and crawl spaces are very attractive to termites and can serve as
starting points for an infestation.
