Termites can live and reproduce undetected for years, chewing away at your most valuable assets. They primarily feast on wood, but they also cause extensive damage to paper, insulation, and even swimming pool liners and filtration systems.
All termite species cost property owners in the US more than $2 billion in treatments and repairs each year.
 
Drywood termites are tireless wood eaters that carve their paths of destruction from the inside of your home out.
They hide and reproduce inside your walls, roof beams, studs and the foundation of your home, and even around door and window frames and inside your cupboards and wood furniture.
The first thing termites do when they invade your home is: EAT. As they do so, their populations explode into the thousands.
Subterranean termites live in colonies of several thousand. Their colonies are usually in the ground, near the wood on which they feed or close enough to reach the wood through tubes they build to enter your structures.
These wood-ravaging enemies are tiny, pale, soft-bodied insects that attack all kinds of wood, including redwood.
 Spring is typically is when large numbers of winged termites, known as "swarmers," emerge inside homes. Triggered by warmer temperatures and rainfall, the winged termites emerge from their colonies and fly into the air.
In addition to the high financial costs, the sight of thousands of winged termites invading your home is an emotionally devastating experience — not to mention the thought of thousands of termites silently feasting on your largest investment.
After the swarmers have dropped to the ground, they shed their wings, pair off with a mate, and start new colonies. Few swarmers that emerge outdoors survive to start new colonies. They indicate that a termite infestation has been present in your structure for at least three or four years. If your home is swarmed by termites, don’t panic.
