The Threat of Subterranean Termites

Every day a dangerous predator targets America's homes and causes thousands of dollars' worth of damage—subterranean termites. Often there's no evidence of their presence until it's too late. These termites live in underground colonies and work 24 hours a day to destroy your home from the inside out. These colonies are 5 to 25 feet below the surface. All they need is a crack 1/32 of an inch in size to gain access to your home. You cannot keep them out, no matter what material your home is made of. They construct shelter tubes through cracks in foundations and expansion joints. They enter behind veneers and stucco, along electrical and plumbing penetrations, or where wood meets the soil.

The Cost of Termite Damage

Termites cause nearly $2 billion in damage annually, according to research. Unfortunately, without annual inspections, termites can go unnoticed for years while continuing to damage your home. It is important for you to identify the termites that are using your home as a buffet.

What Termites Feed on

Termites are constantly foraging for food. They will eat anything that contains cellulose: wood, carpet backing, dry wall paper, paper, etc.
