Termites swarming on an interior window sill
Few words strike fear in the hearts of homeowners more than the word "termite." These destructive insects weaken a home from within by eating wood and other cellulose structures.
The destruction by termites is often unnoticed because it is behind walls or under floors. Occasionally, a homeowner will be lucky enough to witness termites swarming. Swarming only occurs periodically when a large colony needs to split. Special winged termites called swarmers seek out a new location. This is the time to call professionals.
The maintenance of a termite warranty is important. That requires scheduling annual inspections, paying annual fees, and scheduling booster treatments. A termite inspection is almost always required prior to a home sale. Any infestation would be a hindrance to the sale's closing.
More information on termites can be found at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension website.
