The Problem with Termites

Termites basically do one thing and do it very well. They eat wood. Lots of it. A colony of termites, roughly 60,000 can eat through one foot of a 2×4 in about six months. Certain species of termites that can eat that amount much faster. Termites will thrive in a home that is damp and has a lot of moisture. They tend to breed in woodpiles or stumps near home and can then enter a home through cracks in a foundation. Once inside, they will not only eat through wood, but they will attempt to grow more colonies. In a home where termite infestation has gone unnoticed for a length of time, the damage can be devastating. The termites can eat through sections of the home that have an impact on the stability of the home.
