DAMPWOOD TERMITES

Dampwood termites are a type of wood-destroying insect that are typically found in areas with high moisture content, such as along the coast, near rivers or lakes, or in areas with high humidity. Unlike subterranean termites, dampwood termites do not need soil contact and can infest wood that is directly in contact with the ground. Dampwood termites infest a structure by tunneling into the wood and feeding on it. They are often attracted to wood that is in direct contact with the ground or that has high moisture content, such as water-damaged or rotting wood.
