Destruction Termites Cause Termites are considered destructive and dangerous to homes and buildings because they eat the insides of wooden structures and can cause them to grow unstable. By doing this, they compromise your home's foundation and can cause stability issues which over time can lead to buildings collapsing due to a lack of support. While searching for and eating wood, termites are known to devour wiring that lies in their path. This is dangerous as faulty or damaged wiring can lead to even more dangerous situations such as house fires.

Signs of a Termite Infestation Wooden chips or saw dust randomly appearing in spots within your home are signs that your home may possibly be infested with termites. If you pull apart the walls of your home, you will notice the tubes they construct to transport food and themselves all around your home. Another sign is the wings of termites. Termites shed their wings and can be a definite sign of your home being infested. Small termites are hard to see but as they grow in size they are easy to see. Animals also react to termites strangely and will avoid areas of the house where they are present in the walls. They are pale in color and are only about ¼ to ½ inch long. The king and queen termites are a little larger, they can get as long as an inch long. |
