What Termites are in Lubbock TX?

Because of the seasonal climate in our part of Texas, termites flock and thrive around Lubbock during the warmer months. We’ve said above what termite varieties are most common, so let’s elaborate more on what distinguishes each of them. 

The Eastern Subterranean Termite is the most common in North America. They’re smaller than drywood termites and need regular contact with soil to survive, but when they get into your home they can cause massive amounts of damage. If you find mud tubes around the outside of your foundation or in your crawlspace, you might have this kind of Subterranean Termite.

Compare this to Formosan Termites, which are far more aggressive species. Their nests expand quickly through underground tunnels until they’ve built up a colony with a population into the millions. They also have a voracious appetite and will eat essentially any kind of wood that they come across.
