Know Your Enemy

The most serious threat your home may face are termites. Regardless of how your house is constructed or where it’s located, whether it's old or new, it could be attacked – and devastated – by termites.

• Termites cause more damage in the U.S. than storms, fires and floods combined, over two billion dollars in damage every year.
• Termite Queens are believed to live fifteen to twenty-five years and lay up to thirty thousand eggs a day.
• Termites work all day and night, and never sleep.
• Homeowners insurance will not pay for any repairs.

Just because you don't see termites doesn't mean they're not there.  Termites work behind the scenes, rarely breaking through the surface of the wood, preferring instead to hollow it out.  As a result, you may never see any evidence of them until you discover that serious damage has been done to your home.
