Did you know that termites cause over $5 billion worth of damage every year in the United States and termites are present in 70% of countries across the world and outnumber humans 10 to 1? Termites are also silent destroyers that can eat through wood, wallpaper and flooring without being noticed. These simple facts add up to the fact that any home is at risk to termites. You are now probably wondering how you would know if your house has termite damage and how to treat a termite infestation.

The first sign that termites have begun to infest your home is the shedding of their wings in the spring time. An average termite colony contains millions of members and before this colony settles down in the spring they send out a search team to find their perfect new home. These searchers are young king and queen termites who will shed their wings in your home leaving evidence that you have a huge problem heading your way.

Subterranean termites are the most common kind of termite to infest homes and properties in Middle Tennessee. These termites live in colonies that contain up to 2 million members and enjoy moist secluded areas, mainly underground. These termites are very destructive because they are eating wood sources 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They can quickly cause extreme damage to your home without you even noticing because they actually work from the inside out of wood structures they are feeding on. This can compromise the structure of your home and just to make matters a little worse, termite damage is usually not covered under house insurance.
