• Termites eat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meaning damage to wood in and around a structure can happen very quickly.

• Typically, homeowner’s insurance does not cover termite damage. Most pest infestations and accompanying damage are considered maintenance issues by insurance carriers.

• The most effective type of treatment depends on the severity of the infestation, the species of termite, and the location and construction of the home.

• Termites cannot be effectively treated by a homeowner on their own generally. Pest control professionals have the training, expertise and technology to eliminate a termite infestation.
