Are termites destroying your greatest investment?


Your home is a target ... Any home is a target for termites.Even those built on slabs are threatend by termites that can get in through cracks and various utility entry points. Cold climates are no guarantee against them either. In Chicago, it is estimated that 1 in 16 buildings is infested. Even homes protected by a termiticide barrier may be at risk if that barrier
breaks down.
How termites do their dirty work... Subterranean termites live in colonies in the soil. A colony consists of a king and queen, who sole duty is to reproduce, and workers that forage for food. These workers are the ones that cause damage to your home. Damage is difficult to detect and it is possible that multiple colonies could be attacking your home at the same time.
Little creatures, big bucks ... Across the nation, termite damage totals about a billion dollars a year. Termite damage is more likely to occur than damage from storms or fires. In fact, it is estimated that one and a half million homes are affected each year. Damage may be evident in sagging floor boards or loose trim, but could lead to major structural repairs.
