How termites tunnel underground to reach your home

How Termites Invade Your Home

Subterranean termites build elaborate tunnel systems underground, allowing them to travel undetected from their colony to your home's foundation. By the time you see visible damage, they've often been feeding for months or years.

  • Colonies can contain up to 1 million termites
  • They work 24/7, never sleeping
  • Mud tubes protect them from predators
  • A mature colony can eat a pound of wood per day

Did You Know?

Termites have existed for over 250 million years — munching on wood long before dinosaurs appeared.
A termite queen lays up to 30,000 eggs per day, producing millions of offspring over her lifetime.
A single colony can number in the millions. Some supercolonies stretch hundreds of feet underground.
The total weight of all termites on Earth exceeds the total weight of all humans — roughly 500 million tons.
Termites cause $5 billion in U.S. property damage annually — more than fires, storms, and earthquakes combined. Most insurance doesn't cover it.
Some termite mounds feature internal chimneys and vents that regulate temperature — inspiring energy-efficient human architecture.

What You Can Do

Fix leaky faucets, pipes, and AC units. Dry conditions make your home far less attractive to termites.
Keep firewood, lumber, and mulch at least 20 feet from your foundation. Stacked wood is an open invitation.
Check your foundation, crawl spaces, and attic for mud tubes, frass, or damaged wood at least once a season.
Caulk cracks in your foundation, around utility pipes, and along window frames to reduce termite access.
Direct gutters, downspouts, and grading away from your foundation. Standing water creates ideal termite conditions.
Trim shrubs and branches away from exterior walls. Dense vegetation traps moisture and provides hidden termite pathways.

What to Avoid

Discarded wings or tiny mud tubes often indicate a large, hidden colony already feeding on your home.
Surface sprays only kill visible termites. The underground colony continues causing damage untouched.
Soil-to-wood contact gives termites a direct highway into your home. Maintain a gap between soil and wood.
Termite damage goes undetected for years. Professional inspections catch problems before repair costs skyrocket.

Prepare for Your Appointment

Move furniture and storage at least 3 feet from exterior walls. This gives your technician full perimeter access.
Relocate firewood, lumber, and wood debris away from your foundation. Stacked wood nearby invites colonies.
Clear pathways to crawl space entries and attic hatches for termite activity and moisture inspection.
Look for water stains, soft spots, or persistent dampness. These are prime termite infestation spots.
Take photos of mud tubes or damaged wood before the visit. This helps your technician assess scope quickly.
Trim plants and soil away from your foundation. Dense landscaping traps moisture and hides termite pathways.
Your technician will guide you on arrival.
