How Much Damage Can Termites Cause

If you discover a termite infestation in your home, you need to handle it immediately. Termite damage not only devalues your home, but it is also extremely dangerous if left too long. Termite damage can affect the structure of your home and the integrity of your roof. It can even damage surrounding trees causing them to collapse, potentially damaging your home or someone else's. 

Since termite colonies contain as many as 15,000,000 termites, it only takes 6 months for termites to cause major structural damage, and it only takes 2 years to completely destroy a home. Not only is it dangerous, but it can also be extremely costly if the problem is left for too long. That’s why it’s important to contact a pest control provider to take care of the problem before it’s too late.
