Termites cause billions in structural damage each year — quietly, and rarely covered by homeowners insurance. By the time you see one, damage may already be underway.
Pale, ant-like insects that live hidden in wood and soil. Swarmers (with wings) resemble flying ants but have straight antennae and equal-length wings.
What attracts them: Wood-to-soil contact, moisture, wood debris, mulch against the foundation, and leaky areas.
At the first mud tube, swarm, or damaged wood — and proactively with an annual inspection. Early treatment prevents costly structural repairs.
