Termites live in underground colonies that can contain millions of members. They build distinctive mud tubes for access to the colony and protection. If you see one of these tubes, you are in danger of an infestation. Termites can cause serious damage to structures and homes. They feed on anything with cellulose. Wood, like the boards inside your home’s foundations, is about 70 percent cellulose. This means that if an infestation is not stopped, it can cause a house or other building to collapse, leading to huge amounts of damage and possible injury. You do not have much time to waste, either. A queen termite may live for 15 years, laying an egg every 15 seconds for most of her life. That is more than two million eggs per year! Termite colonies are no match for us, thanks to the Termite Baiting System, a process that eliminates the entire colony with minimal invasion.
