Termites are notorious for their ability to feed on wood and other cellulose materials. They can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, including floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, and support beams, compromising the structural integrity of buildings.
Termites often infest homes silently, making it difficult for homeowners to detect their presence until significant damage has already occurred. They can tunnel through wood, leaving behind thin mud tubes as they travel between their nest and food sources.
Repairing termite damage can be expensive, especially if the infestation is widespread or affects critical structural components. In severe cases, entire sections of a building may need to be replaced, leading to significant financial and logistical challenges.
