Drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood and do not require soil contact. They commonly infest fascia boards, attic framing, window casings, and furniture. Homeowners often first notice small sand-like pellets (“frass”) accumulating below kick-out holes or nighttime swarmers attracted to light.
Drywood colonies grow slowly but can exist in multiple areas of a structure at once. Precision injection treatments and targeted foaming are often effective without tenting.
