What are termites?

Eastern subterranean termites are the main concern as far as termites go here in Nashville and in middle Tennessee. These very destructive subterranean insects do billions of dollars worth of damages to houses in the United States each year. All of the people who dealt with damage from termites are all people who didn’t think that it would ever be their home or business that would be affected. These insects are always eating and breeding. They do not need rest, because they do not need to do so. They live in huge colonies underground where they can remain unnoticed, sometimes for years. Often, their damage and presence isn’t discovered until it is too late, and they have already destroyed wood inside walls, joists, playgrounds, and any other structure that they can get to.

Do I need protection?

If your home, garage, shed, business, playground or any of your other type of buildings are constructed of wood, then the answer is always ‘yes’. Termites forage for food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so the probability of them finding a wood structure or product that belongs to you is surprisingly high. Remember, if all the people who experience termite damage loss knew it was going to happen to them, then they would’ve been better prepared.

What kind of protection do I need?

The two huge factors to consider here are: what are you protecting, and is it worth taking a chance on sub-par protection. Most of us are protecting a huge investment in our homes, buildings, and businesses. It would seem as though the small expense of protecting that large investment from possible destruction and ruin every day all year long would be an easy resolution to come to.
