Subterranean termites, as their name implies, need direct soil contact to thrive. This species of termite lives in moisture rich soil and comes up and enters often without being seen through foundational cracks, direct wood to soil contact, and when there is improper soil grading. Subterranean termites are difficult to control and require the help of a licensed pest control company like Elite Pest Management.
