Termites in Florida look like small, ant-like insects with soft bodies. They can be white, cream, or light brown in color. Winged termites, or swarmers, resemble flying ants but have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a broad waist. The two most common types in Florida are subterranean termites, which build mud tubes and live underground, and drywood termites, which infest wood directly and leave behind frass (droppings) as a sign of activity.
