Do I need to worry about termites?
Termites are responsible for an estimated $5 billion of damage every year in the United States and more than 5 million homes have some type of termite problem. Termite control is essential for any homeowner concerned with asset protection.
Subterranean Termites are wood destroying insects that cause significant structural damage if they remain undetected and untreated. Because termite damage is not typically covered by insurance, repairs can be costly.
How do I know if I have termites?
Termites live in underground colonies, tunneling undetected through the soil into a structure. Because of their subterranean nature, an infestation may go undetected for some time. But there are warning signs of an active termite infestation including:
- Winged insects, called “swarmers” in or around your home or winged parts scattered around your doors or windows
- Mud tubes leading from the ground to a piece of infested wood or up the foundation walls
- Damage to wood or other cellulose materials
