What Are Dampwood Termites?
Among the three common termite species found in Texas, the dampwood termite is the largest one, measuring up to almost an inch long. These pests are known for the strong distinctive odor they emit, as well as their dark brown bodies and wings.

Their common food sources include fence posts and door frames, reproducing and feasting away at your home’s structure for months, or even years before being discovered.
