Western Drywood Termite

Size: Western drywood termite swarmers are about 7/16-1/2 in (11-12.5 mm) long, including wings, which are 3/8 in (8.5 mm) or longer

Location: Western drywood termites infest wood with a moisture content of 12% or less. Drywood termites do not live in the ground, do not build mud tubes, nor require ground contact ground. Colonies are located in the wood they eat, and are smaller than those of subterranean termites. Swarming of drywood termites, in dozens or occasionally hundreds, typically happens in September/October, at mid-day in warm, sunny weather (80 degrees F, 27 C), peaking after a sudden temperature increase. Swarmers drywood termites fly into structures, directly infesting the wood, first in exposed places such as door and window frames, eaves, attics, and molding, or where shingles and paper overhang timber, finding a protected joint or crevice. They often re-infest the same structure when swarming.
