Forsyth Exterminating: Termite Experts |
Termites are wood-destroying insects; experts estimate they cause $5 billion of property damage each year. In Georgia, Eastern and Formosan Subterranean Termites build underground nests. They are extremely destructive, because they tunnel their way to wooden structures, into which they burrow to obtain food. Termites all share a virtually insatiable appetite for wood and other cellulose-containing materials. Given enough time, they will feed on the wood until nothing is left but a shell.
You're more likely to discover you have a termite problem by discovering the evidence they leave behind rather than the actual termites themselves.
-
Piles of small, delicate wings shed by reproductives
- Mud tubes built by termites for aboveground travel
- Damaged or hollow sounding wood
- Pinholes in drywall or wallpaper
It is quite possible to have a hidden termite problem even if you never notice any of these signs. The best way to be sure is to call 770.889.0954 to conduct a complete inspection and analysis of your property.
