Asian Subterranean Termite in Miami Beach

The Miami Beach area has been facing the problem of infestation from Asian subterranean termites for some time now. The tropical climate of the area provides adequate warmth and an ideal environment for the Asian subterranean termites to thrive in. These termites can quickly cause damage to your house which can become difficult and costly to repair over time. The Asian subterranean termites live in underground termite colonies which are connected to each other. They have three distinct castes- workers, soldiers, and reproductive. The queen lives in the main colony and is responsible for reproducing several thousand eggs daily. Due to the quick reproduction and life cycle of these termites, they can grow rapidly and cause extensive damage to buildings.

Damage Potential of Asian Subterranean Termites
Miami Beach location faces severe damage every year due to infestation by Asian subterranean termites. These termites feed quickly on any cellulose-containing items. They are especially attracted towards wood as it contains high levels of cellulose. They can quickly infest and corrode wooden items inside and outside your house. Items like wooden floor, ceilings, furniture, outposts, etc. are at greater risk of infestation. Asian subterranean termites can also feed on other sources of cellulose like fiberboard, paper, fabric, plant tissues, etc.

The major threat posed by these termites to your house is infestation in the foundation. They can gain access to the foundation of your house through cracks, fissures, electrical conduits, gaps, etc. Once they reach the foundation, they can build termite colonies and start damaging the foundation gradually. This poses serious threat to the structural integrity of the house. Asian subterranean termites are expected to infest nearly half of all the buildings in Florida by the year 2040. They can lead to large expenses on the part of house owners on restoration of their houses.
