Pest guide
Drywood Termites
These termites live entirely inside dry wood like attic framing and furniture, with no contact with soil.
Signs you have them
Small piles of six-sided pellets (frass) below kick-out holes; blistered paint; swarmers in late summer.
How to keep them out
Seal cracks and attic vents; paint exposed wood; inspect used furniture before bringing it inside.
