Termites see your home as a giant buffet, and the more wood you have in and around your home, the more these wood destroying insects will want to hang out and eat. Given enough time to chow down, termites can cause significant termite structure damage to the point of nearly destroying your home. All types of termites – dampwood termites, drywood termites, and subterranean termites are true wood destroying insects and can do significant damage if appropriate termite control measures are not taken. And termites don’t discriminate between large and small homes – as long as there is wood available, termite infestation can occur.
