Termite

Termites are social insects that silently chew wood from the inside out, undermining a building’s structure.  They live in colonies with workers, soldiers and a queen, and move through soil or mud tubes to stay moist and hidden.  Because they eat 24 / 7, even a small colony can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you notice any outward signs.  Professional control relies on soil treatments or baiting systems that create a continuous treated zone the colony cannot bypass.
