Termites Eat Homes

Tuesday, 12th July 2011

It’s tempting to think that your home is safe from termites and not in need of termite control. You haven’t seen any swarms this year, and you’re comfortable in believing that your home is free of the costly pests, because you can find no evidence that they are infecting your walls.

Unfortunately, this may just be wishful thinking. The truth about termites is that at any given point they may be infesting your soil, looking for a food source they can use to nourish their nest.

Termites do not actually live in wood. They live beneath the ground – and in very, very large quantities.
