Termites are destructive, pervasive insects that can cause significant damage to your home in a short amount of time. Their presence dates back to the dinosaurs. While they play an important role in nature, experts estimate they cause $5 billion of property damage each year. There are three major kinds of termites in the United States: dampwood, drywood and subterranean. Dampwood termites commonly live in heavily forested areas of the country as they prefer wet wood; while, drywood termites, much more rare in the United States, prefer extremely dry wood. Subterranean termites require moist environments, live mainly in the soil and are the most destructive. The good news is that termites can be controlled with the partnership of a trained pest professional.
