Termites cause over a billion dollars in property damage a year in the United States.

That’s more than all fires and floods combined. Rather than fast and furious, termites work slowly and silently as they eat away your home or other property. Whether old or new, damage is done without you realizing it.

If you see winged ant-like insects around your property, you must know if they are ants or subterranean termites. If they are swarming termites, there is an established colony nearby looking for new nesting areas...and that means your home is in danger. Call us immediately, we'll eliminate the old colony and protect you from these home-damaging insects.

There are many species of structural infesting termites and each one has developed effective ways to get at and attack the wood in your home. Preventing termite attack and killing these termites is vital if you want to avoid the damage they cause.

Termites live in colonies which are usually underground, although sometimes they can be within your home itself. The "worker" termite forages outside of the colony for food. It consumes the wood creating "galleries" and then returns to feed the rest of the colony. Tell-tale signs of termites include mud (or shelter) tubes on foundation walls, termite swarms and of course infested wood members.

Termites are famous for their ability to destroy wooden structures. In Australia, 1 in 3 houses will eventually be affected by termites, and the annual cost of infestations is estimated at 780 million dollars. From a biological point of view, termites are important components of natural ecosystems, performing functions such as carbon recycling and soil aeration, and acting as a food source for various mammals. Termite nests are the largest non-human built structures in the world.
