Termites And Your Home - Are You Winning?
By Terry Edwards

Since Bible times, man has been battling insects of all different types. From flies and mosquitoes to bees and termites. While some of these insects can cause serious health issues, termites on the other hand, cause serious damage to our homes. Left to themselves, termites will literally eat your entire house in a relatively short amount of time.

Termites are amazing, but highly destructive insects. They are drawn to the protein that is contained in different types of wood. Also, different kinds of termites are attracted to different kinds of wood.

These insects love wet, humid conditions. States with hot temperatures and high humidity such as Florida, Texas, California, etc., have termite problems that North Dakota doesn t. This is why keeping your home free of moisture is vital in these areas.

Termites are also very innovative insects. The most common method to keep them away from your home has been to apply a chemical barrier around the outside perimeter of your home. Termites can easily get around these barriers by building mud tunnels through it. If you do any digging around your home s foundation and discover straw like tunnels, it s a sure bet you have termites.

Termites have been known to travel 50 feet through the ground to get to the interior of a home.

If you own a home, or you re considering purchasing one, get a termite inspection. Having a termite inspection on an annual basis in areas that are prone to these insects to reside in is a smart strategy.

A termite inspector is an expert in finding these pests before they begin attacking the wood in your home s structure.

If you do have termites, they can treat them and get them eliminated before they destroy your home. Termite treatments are relatively inexpensive, and compared to the alternative, they re downright cheap.
