Why Subterranean Termites Are a Problem in Kapolei
Kapolei sits on a hot, dry leeward plain at the base of the Waianae Range, with newly developed land abutting open fields and fast-changing vegetation. Subterranean Termites thrive in moist soil in contact with any wood — slab edges, foundation cracks, porch posts, sprinkler-fed planter beds, and any irrigation near the house, which is exactly what Kapolei offers — new construction disturbs pest habitat into nearby neighborhoods, commercial density drives cockroach and rodent pressure, and the expanding urban/wild edge pushes wildlife and feral chickens into yards.
Formosan subterranean termites are the most destructive termite species in Hawaii — a mature colony can consume a pound of wood a day and do structural damage in months, not years We see the highest subterranean termites call volume in Makakilo, Ko Olina, Villages of Kapolei, and across Kapolei's mix of a rapidly growing mix of 2000s+ single-family subdivisions, hillside homes in Makakilo, luxury resort residences at Ko Olina, and commercial real estate throughout the downtown core.
Subterranean termites are the most destructive termite species in Hawaii, with the Formosan subterranean termite being particularly aggressive. These termites live in massive underground colonies that can contain millions of individuals, and they build mud tubes to travel from the soil to the wood structures they feed on.
