This is a Basement wall. This is classic evidence of Subterranean Termites. This Pic shows the mud tubes after paneling was removed.

Subterranean termites always make mud tubes to, and over wood they eat. This termite colony is located behind the wall or under the slab.There is NOTHING you can spray on these tubes to kill this colony. No nematodes, bacteria, chemical, green botanical, essential oil, or fairy dust , applied as a spray, will eliminate the colony.

Below is an image of swarming sub termites that are ready to do their mating flight. Note the very long double set of wings. Ants have a long pair and a short pair. These termites emerged at the end of my driveway in late July.    Click for a larger image.

On This is a basement wall is fresh Subterranean Termite mud tube

It was formed in a just a few days.

 This basement wall is around 90 years old and has old cracks and peeling paint. The Subterranean Termite colony is in the ground outside this wall and is sending out scouts right through the wall trying to find wood to eat. These scout workers always cover their trails with mud to protect them from light and possible danger.

This colony will soon find the wood at the top of this wall and start to eat. If not for this visible mud tube, the colony could have gone undisturbed for many years and done major damage to this fine old house. We have a great solution for this type of home invasion. Give us a call.
