Out of all the pests the can bother us, some seem to wreak a little more havoc than others. No pest is a welcome guest, by any means…some are problems that seem especially hard to get rid of. Take termites, for example. Many people have a termite problem and may be completely unaware of it. At least, until it is too late. The reason for this is that termites are a small pest that lives inside of a structure and often can’t been seen until a significant amount of damage has occurred. The average adult termite is one to two inches in length and is very thin. Even though this pest is small enough to go unnoticed, it does not mean that it is incapable of major damage. Quite the contrary; termites can cause a great deal of damage to a property.
Termites cost billions of dollars in home repairs each and every year. These pests can easily find their way in and once they have access to your house, the trouble begins. Termites are a social insect. Just as it sounds, this means that when one termite is present, there are typically many more nearby. They reproduce quickly and lay numerous eggs. From the eggs, tiny larva will emerge, which will shortly after mature into adult termites, which will only continue to be a problem.
If you suspect that you have termites—if you see so much as the smallest fraction of damaged wood within your home—it is imperative that you contact a professional immediately. While there are certain pests which you, as a homeowner, may be able to prevent, termites are not one of them. These pests are not creatures that you can take care of on your own. The longer you wait to contact a professional, the longer you allow termites to make a meal of your home.
