look around the outside of the house for termite tubes. they look a dirt
trail about the diameter of a pencil going from the ground to under the
siding or stucco. If you have an older home they might of stuccoed all the
way down to the ground if so you would want to get the stucco cut above the
ground. I believe if you have termite tubes there Subterranean. I been told
the can also get threw crakes in the slab. The bad part to all this is you
can't come close to determining the damage until you start tearing into
things.

Doing my homework on getting rid of my
termites, I learn there are two types of concern
here in the Southern California area: drywall
termites, which live in the house and eat the wood, and
subterranean termites, which live in the soil adjacent to
the house and visit the house daily for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner.

I know I have the drywall type, based on their droppings
on the second floor of the house and in the attic crawl
space. I plan to have the house tented to get rid of
them. I wonder about subterranean termites.

Fumigation is supposed to kill all the drywall termites, and
practically none of the subterranean ones. How does one
determine if any subterranean ones are present? If they are
present, how does one get rid of them?
