Termites
Subterranean
Termites are the most common species of termites throughout the mainland
of the United States. Termites
are important in nature because they recycle cellulose or wood.
Termites turn dead trees quickly and efficiently into food and
nutrients which in turn feed many organisms.
To a termite, any structure with wood represents food.
Once inside your structure, they will feed undetected in sill plates,
studs, floor joists or any cellulose material they can access. This food
will lure a continuous flow of worker termites to your structure.
Proper treatment to stop this infestation includes creating a
chemical barrier in the soil. In
some cases treating the wood will help. Now bait stations are being set
out as well. All these tools can help in both protecting, preventing and
controlling termites before they establish themselves in your structure
and start doing damage.
