Termites are found in most parts of the country, including Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, with Alaska being the only state where they’re not encountered. While they thrive in warmer climates, they’re highly adaptable and can survive in many environments. As long as they have access to cellulose, they’ll continue to feed and spread. Infestations are often discovered in walls, bathrooms, wooden furniture, logs, and other wood sources around the home.
Certain termites rely on soil to survive, while others thrive in dry wood above the ground.
Different termites have varying preferences for the types of wood they inhabit. For example, dry wood termites prefer dry wood that isn’t in contact with soil, while Eastern subterranean and Formosan termites require constant soil contact to survive. These termites travel through mud tubes, which protect them from the open air as they search for food. In Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, these mud tubes can often be found around the foundation, windows, wall studs, and siding of your home.

In our state, both Eastern subterranean and Formosan termites have been reported. The local climate creates ideal conditions for these wood-damaging pests to reproduce at any time, meaning homeowners face an ongoing risk of infestations. With termites able to live in wood structures both indoors and outdoors, partnering with a professional termite exterminator like Action Pest Control is essential.
Termites are a common pest problem across the U.S., with over 2,000 species worldwide and about 40 found here, though only a few typically infest homes and businesses. Our region is a hotspot for termites, especially during the warmer months, due to the seasonal climate. In Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, two particularly destructive termite species are most common and pose significant risks to property owners.
Termites are rarely seen, except when a swarm is flying nearby. This makes it challenging to identify the type of termite infesting your property. A professional termite exterminator can pinpoint the species and recommend the most effective control methods. They also have the expertise to detect early signs of an infestation before it becomes a serious issue.
