How Do Termites Damage Homes?

Termites actually eat the wood in your home. Those pieces holding your house together are their prime target and that is what makes them so dangerous and why they do so much damage. They attack the framework of your home. They will also consume paper, wool, burlap, cotton and other cellulose.

While they do take time to cause damage, it is similar to foundation repair problems. The longer you wait the worse the problem is and the more it cost to correct. So, if you think you see anything that could be a sign a termite is around, schedule an appointment today.
