What Are Formosan Termites?
Formosan termites, also known as “Coptotermes Formosanus” usually are known to be the most aggressive and destructive species in the country! Hence their large colony size, they attack wood at a much faster rate than subterranean termites. Formosan termites feed on wood and other materials like cardboard, paper, asphalt plaster, plastics, foam insulation boards, and lead/copper sheeting. Generally formosans are brownish-yellow color, their heads are rounded on sides and narrow towards the front, and they have clear wings that are covered with small hairs. Safe to say they’re not the prettiest looking creatures!
