Subterranean termites are the most common and the most destructive wood-destroying organisms in the United States. They cause billions in damage each year- more property damage than that caused by fire and windstorm combined. Although, in nature, subterranean termites are beneficial. They break down many dead trees and other wood materials that would otherwise accumulate. The biomass of this breakdown process is recycled to the soil as humus.
Wood Damage
Termite damage to the wood’s surface often is not evident because termites excavate galleries within materials as they feed. Their presence is not readily noticed because they hide their activity behind wallboards, siding or wood trim. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to have an experienced professional routinely inspect property for signs of infestation.
