Most of us would hibernate with the bears if life allowed us the pleasure to rest our weary souls when the temperatures are frightfully cold. Winter weather changes a person -and insects- or, at least, their behavior during the cold months. If you think a little cold weather is enough to get termites packing, think again. Nothing changes besides their behavior.

Winter-Time Termites

The Subterranean termite burrows itself underground in response to cold temperatures. The climate affects how far it burrows, although it can travel as far as 50 feet underground while borrowed, the Subterranean termite continues foraging your yard, creating substantial damage along the way. Other termite species, like the Drywood termite, make their homes inside the walls and in wooden spaces of your home. Their behaviors change during the winter, particularly in their activity levels. They do not hibernate or leave the warm comfort found inside your space. Although less active during the winter, termites are still present regardless of the temperatures outside. The presence of termites indicates the risk of damage. The pesky pest never stops foraging for food, wreaking havoc wherever it goes.
