Termites can cause major structural damage to buildings, crops and plantation forests as they pick away at the wood fibers. Termites can go undetected for years, consuming the wood without people noticing until the structure is too severely damaged. Termites can also damage paper, cloth and carpets.
Termites feed on materials, such as wood and cloth, yet they do not digest it. Rather they use most of their intake to build their colony nests and to protect themselves from sunlight and rain.
They usually build their nests in the walls of houses, as there is a large amount of food nearby for them, and they can go undetected for years. Termites can damage houses, yards, cars, boats, and planes – all of this costing us money, time, and energy.
Wood is not safe when these critters are around. Termites like carpenter ants can cause a lot of structural and financial damage to a home or building. At Olympic Pest Control we make sure these pests stay out of the woodwork and keep to the undergrowth away from your property!
