Are there any Formosan Subterranean Termites in southern california?

Question

I see that they are a problem in the SouthEast part of the country, but my termite contract in CA spicifically excludes damage done by them... I wonder why if they are not a problem here?

Answer 1

"...there are a number of mitigating factors that could halt the spread of Formosan subterranean termites transported to other areas, such as the fact that they are rarely found above 35° N latitude because the colder temperatures typical of higher latitudes prevent their eggs from hatching)." quoted from snopes.com referenced below.

Answer 2

Not yet. Let's import some.
