Termites infest wood and wood products. Subterranean termites damage wood by feeding along the grain while consuming the soft, spring growth. Termites also feed on molding, paneling, drywall paper, some carpets, wood flooring, linoleum, and wood baseboards. A single colony can contain as many as one million termites.
Termites are a greater threat to property than tornadoes, fire and hurricanes combined. It is estimated that subterranean termites cost us $750 million each year in damages to homes.
