Termite Types in Hawaii Subterranean/Ground Termites Colony/Nest is found in the ground Drywood Termites Colony/Nest is found in the wood that they eat

Termites in Hawaii Subterranean Philippine Milk Termite

ECONOMIC TERMITE PESTS IN HAWAII FORMOSAN SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki Major swarms occur during May and June Colony development is fast: 5 years to produce a mature colony Colony size is large: between 3-10 million termites Distinct worker caste Attack most wood types but prefer softwoods WEST INDIAN DRYWOOD TERMITE Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) Major swarms occur during June and July Colony development is very slow: about 12 termites during 1st yr. Colony size is very small: about 300 to a few thousand termites No true worker caste; all become soldiers or reproductives Attack most wood types but prefer hardwoods

Subterranean Termites versus Drywood Termites Wings from Alates Subterranean Termites Two veins along the top which run parallel to each other (simple) Subterranean termite alate wing Drywood termite alate wing Drywood Termites More detailed pattern along the top of vein (complex)

Subterranean Termites versus Drywood Termites Excretions/Waste Material Subterranean Termites Leaves behind CARTON, resembling hard cardboard Drywood Termites Leaves behind FRASS resembling sand

Subterranean Termites versus Drywood Termites Feeding Pattern Subterranean termites Eats in a distinct pattern “picky eaters” Drywood termites Eats in NO distinct pattern “non-picky eaters”

Subterranean Termites versus Drywood Termites Home Life Subterranean termites Create mud tunnels Drywood termites Make kickout holes
