Termites: Hidden Invaders That Can Destroy Your Home

Termites are one of the most notorious insects that can cause significant damage to homes. Termites are known as “hidden invaders” because they often go unnoticed until the damage is extensive. These wood-eating insects can compromise the structural integrity of your home, leading to costly repairs.

According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage annually in the United States alone [1]. To protect your home from termite infestations, it’s crucial to schedule regular inspections and address any signs of termite activity promptly.

The Termite Caste System: What’s Inside the Colony?

Why Termites Invade Homes and Businesses

Termites naturally live in trees, brush, and fallen logs, where they thrive by feeding on wood and organic material. However, when homes and businesses are built on their nesting sites, termites seek new food sources by entering structures through cracks and utility openings. Once inside, they search for wood, moisture, and mud to build their signature mud tubes—small tunnels that allow them to travel safely between their nest and the food source. These mud tubes serve as protected roadways, connecting the colony to the soil and enabling termites to cause extensive damage over time.
