Termites - The Silent Destroyer
Termites may be thriving in your home or yard without any immediate signs. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cost Americans more than $5 billion in damages each year. Regardless of construction type, your home can provide the ideal combination of warmth, moisture, and food for a termite infestation.
Subterranean termites form their homes in soil and build elaborate tunnels for accessing above ground food sources. Termites feed on dead plants and trees as well as dead parts of living trees, including wood in the soil. While termites measure approximately one centimeter in length, they are capable of causing costly damage to property.
When a termite colony matures, winged, swarming termites can be seen around windows and doors. Winged termites are highly attracted to sources of light and are most active in the springtime. After mating, these termites locate a new breeding site and create a new colony, spreading infestations throughout multiple locations.
