What do termites look like?
Not all termites look the same, in fact within one species of termite there are five different looking types of termite.
- The Queen
- The King
- Soldiers
- Workers (which can appear in varying sizes)
- Alates (winged reproductives)
In the photograph below we have three representatives of one species, a worker on the left, a soldier in the middle and an alate on the right.
To the untrained eye when happening upon termites it is rare that the termites can be identified to the level above let alone to species level. A termite specialist can identify the termites and recommend appropriate treatment for that species. Not all termites are able to be treated with the same product. Consult an expert instead of potentially making your problem worse.
