GLI Bot2020-10-02T12:05:28-05:00Termites|

Just hearing the word termite gives you an uncomfortable feeling. These tiny insects cause approximately 5 billion dollars in property damage in the United States each year. Termites get into your home and chow down on any wood source available as food to build colonies and survive. They particularly enjoy moist wood to chew through. The hardest part about a termite infestation is that they are hard to spot. They usually chew through the interior of your walls, out of your sight. You may only notice them after the structural damage has already occurred. This is why it is important to arm yourself with knowledge of these tiny pests to help keep them away from your home.

Termites cause billions of dollars in damage to homes across the country. These pests are often referred to as the silent destroyers because they work unseen for months, or sometimes even years, before property owners notice them. Unfortunately, when most homeowners do find termites, they have already caused major damage. Because of their stealth-like ways, it is very important to consider getting regular termite inspections to protect your home and property from costly termite damages.
