Home Care Pest Control offers several termite protection services and treatments for effective termite control. Between prevention and damage, individuals spend more money battling termites than any other wood-destroying organism. Since termites consume cellulose, a resource found in wood, it is vital to keep termites away from expensive investments, whether it’s your home or your business. These insatiable pests primarily feed on wood and will consume books, furniture, and even the insulation in your walls.
The damage caused by termites can be financially disastrous because it often goes undetected for long periods of time. When the damage from underground termites is finally detected, it’s rarely covered by homeowners insurance.
Subterranean Termites live underground and infiltrate homes through a series of tunnels. They feed on the cellulose components of your home, which are primarily wood and by-products of wood. Subterranean termites are very common in southern states and have a proclivity toward warmer climates, but they have been found in every state except Alaska.
Drywood Termites do not need contact with the soil like subterranean termites. Drywood termites build colonies in structural wood; control of dry wood can be more challenging because their colonies are not confined to the soil.
Formosan Termites are sometimes referred to as “super termites” because of their size, destructive habits, and size of the colonies. Colonies can number over 1 million!
