| Termite Damage |
Who are they, and what's their purpose ?
Termites attack wood that is close to the ground. Termites feed on wood and serve an important function by converting dead trees
into organic matter. In a forest, this is beneficial because dead branches and trees are recycled and enrich the soil. In this area,
there are two kinds of homes: those that have termites and those that will have termites. Termites cause over $5 billion dollars in
damages every year,and most home owner's insurance doesn't cover any of those damages.

What does termites look like ?

It’s a question you should ask yourself as a responsible property owner. You should also be aware of what
termite damage can do to your home. Most termites live in underground colonies (nests), that may be 5
to 10 feet below the surface. Termites are only about 1/8 inch long yet, the workers forage hundreds of
feet, traveling underground, surfacing periodically, searching for food (wood) to feed the colony.
