If you've discover termites in your home, they probably fall into one of three classifications: subterranean, drywood, or dampwood. The subterranean species, also known as the Arizona termite, stands out for its particularly destructive nature. With a greater hunger than other types, these termites are in a constant state of feeding on wood, thus inflicting considerable damage on buildings. Moreover, they have a strong tendency to live underground, where they can compromise the integrity of a building's foundation by consuming it.

Drywood termites are second in commonality among termites, subsisting on and making their homes in wood with minimal moisture, which can extend to furniture. It's worth noting that these termites don't burrow through foundations; they are, however, equipped with wings, allowing them to take flight.

The dampwood termite, as its name implies, favors moist wood and areas beneath the ground level. Compared to other types, these termites are generally less troublesome and are more easily identified because of their larger size. The damage they cause might not be immediately apparent, but it can ultimately be extensive.
