At We Care Pest Solutions, we help customers throughout the Bay Area who are dealing with minor and major termite infestations. Our comprehensive range of pest control services includes effective solutions for ridding properties of termites and preventing future infestations. If you need termite control in Santa Rosa or any of the surrounding areas, give us a call right away.
Common Types of Termites in the Bay Area
The United States has three different types of termites, all of which can be found in Sonoma County, Napa County, Marin County, and throughout the Bay Area.
The three different types of termites in the Bay Area include:
- Dampwood Termites: The aptly named dampwood termite gets its name from its preferred colony location: damp, decaying wood. Dampwood termites are relatively large in size, anywhere from 20 to 25 mm long, and have big heads with noticeable pincers, or mandibles, on the front. In California, Dampwood termites are more commonly found along the coast and will make their colonies in damp or decaying wood on the ground, rather than in the soil.
- Drywood Termites: Drywood termites are generally more destructive than dampwood termites but less destructive than subterranean termites. Like dampwood termites, drywood termites nest in and feed on wood. But, rather than damp or decaying wood, drywood termites prefer dry wood, including the wooden structures that make up homes and commercial buildings.
- Subterranean Termites: As their name suggests, subterranean termites prefer to nest underground, rather than in the wood on which they feed. Though they are smaller than dampwood and drywood termites, subterranean termites can live in large colonies comprising hundreds of thousands of individual insects. As such, they can be immensely destructive.
All three types of termites are common throughout California, including in Santa Rosa and the surrounding areas. While most termite infestations consist of various drywood species, you could also have an infestation of dampwood or subterranean termites.

What can a homeowner do to prevent termites?
There are many steps a homeowner can take to help prevent termite infestations. Most importantly, you should eliminate or reduce moisture in and around the home (termites need moisture to thrive). You can also reduce humidity in crawl spaces with proper ventilation and trim vines, hedges, and other vegetation to prevent them from blocking vents. Also, try to maintain an 18-inch gap between soil and any wood portions of your home.
-
How do you recognize termites?
Depending on where you live, termite swarms may be visible in the early spring. Termites are often confused with flying ants.
Common signs of termite infestation include softwood in the home, mud tubes on the exterior of your home (often near the foundation), and darkening or blistering of wood structures.
-
How do you get termites anyway?
There are many ways that termites can enter a home. They can come in through cracks in the foundation or holes in the wood. Sometimes termites will build their own tunnels to get into a house. They can also come in on firewood or other wood that is brought inside.
-
How many termites live in a single termite colony?
One termite colony can have as many as 1,000,000 termites.
-
Are there different kinds of termites?
There are three kinds of termites in the United States: dampwood termites, drywood termites, and subterranean termites. Dampwood termites usually live in heavily forested areas, as they prefer damp or wet wood, whereas drywood termites prefer extremely dry wood. Subterranean termites require moist environments and mainly live in the soil.
