Wood Destroying Certification Exam
3 - 5 years - ANS-how long does it take termite colonies to reach adulthood
Ambrosia Beetles - ANS-feed on molds and fungi. Their harm is superficial and the wood is
stained with a dark blue "ambrosia" fungi
Anobiid Beetles - ANS-select sapwood of softwoods with moisture content of 20% or extra. The
larval frass is coarse and powdery and incorporates fecal pellets comparable in shape to hotdog
buns.
Cambium Layer - ANS-Between the inner bark and the sapwood. Responsible for the tree's
outward increase in diameter and circumference.
Carpenter Ants - ANS-key to control of those is finding their nest. Signs to search for in the
course of inspection are piles of coarse sawdust containing ant body components at the ground
or basis
Carpenter Bees - ANS-Do no longer plug their holes at once after remedy. Allow them to skip
freely which will contact the insecticide. The holes have to be filled an afternoon or two later to
save you similarly use.
Cellulose - ANS-Wood is composed basically of this and termites cannot smash it down/digest
it.
Cellulose Debris - ANS-Once site is surveyed, all this contacting soil within the crawl space
have to be eliminated. This consists of any fabric removable with an regular lawn rake
Drywood Termites - ANS-Most not unusual source of these in NC is infested fixtures delivered
right here from other states consisting of Florida, California, New Mexico, Hawaii and Texas;
Most not unusual signal of their activity is their fecal pellets which are small (1/25 inch), hard,
ELONGATED with SIX SIDES.
Eastern Subterranean Termite - ANS-Most critical and maximum commonplace termite in North
Carolina
Fiber Saturation Point - ANS-Averages approximately 28% moisture content material (with a
variety of 25 - 30%)
Floating Slab - ANS-most basements and garages might be categorised as this
