WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TERMITES

It has been suggested that there are only two types of homes: those that have termites and
those that will have termites in the future. Whether you live in the north or south, or have a
new or old home, your home is a target for termites. Termites enter your home through tiny
cracks in the foundation or slab, through utility entry points, or anywhere that soil contacts
wood. If they can't find an easy entrance point near the ground, they will construct mud
tunnels up the side of a structure to access areas above ground. The damage termites
cause may not be as dramatic as a fire or a tornado, but eventually it can threaten the
structural integrity of your house. Their presence is not readily noticed, and damage often is
discovered before the termites are seen.
