For such a infinitesimal member of the Animal Kingdom, the termite yearly causes billions of dollars' worth of damage to property. This creature chiefly dines on dead wood, and as such, structures and abodes with wooden components are in danger of termite plague. The termite also feasts on paper (putting books and important documents at risk), soft elements of a structure (like the lining and filter system of pools), and insulation components put in in buildings and homes. Further, termites could also swarm on healthy shrubs and living plants, inducing destruction to them.

Termites are a main issue when obtaining or selling a dwelling; simply put, an plagued house is a bad decision.

The moment there are termites creeping indoors, it means that there is an infestation that needs the services of expert exterminators. Usually, termites are confused for ants. On closer observation, however, ants and termites are different. The ant has 2 pairs of wings and a thinner waist, with bent antennae. The termite, in the meantime, is thicker around the middle and have a single pair of wings, in addition to straight antennae.

Other signs of this insect's presence in the home are hollow earth pillars, about the size of a pencil, which run over walls, building foundations, supports, and/or floor trusses.

Termite control in the home is a job that one cannot carry through with do-it-yourself products. Efforts done by pros are necessary. These professionals bring in the necessary arsenal in pest management: the chemicals and the equipment. Let the cost for professional extermination services be thought of as a valuable investment to keeping the house standing.
