Termites and other wood-destroying insects (WDIs) can cause catastrophic damage to your home’s structure if left untreated. Your NPI inspector can identify the presence of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles and more pests before they cause irreversible damage.
What are Termites? Termites are soft-bodied insects that eat cellulose, an organic compound found in wood and paper. Termites live in colonies, and can travel over half an acre from their nest to find suitable food sources, which can include your home’s wooden structures. If a termite colony establishes itself near your home, this can cause major problems if left unnoticed.
Signs of a Termite Infestation Termites are notorious for wreaking havoc on the structural elements of a home and can move in without you knowing. Here are the telltale signs that our NPI inspectors look for to determine whether you may be dealing with a termite infestation:
Termites need water and a steady diet of wood to survive. In fact, they can only live up to two weeks without food and a few days without water. This is just one more great reason to make sure that you’re regularly cleaning out your gutters and addressing any drainage issues as they arise.
