• Termites are social insects that live in colonies and feed on wood, plants, and other cellulose materials.
• They are often referred to as the “silent destroyers” because they can cause extensive damage to wooden structures without being detected.
• There are over 2,700 known species of termites, with varying levels of damage potential.
• Termites have a caste system that includes workers, soldiers, and reproductive termites.
• The queen termite can lay up to 30,000 eggs per day.
• Termites have the ability to chew through plastic, plaster, and metal in search of food and nesting sites.

• Termites are found in every U.S. state except Alaska and are prevalent in warm and humid climates.
• Termite infestations are often not covered by homeowners insurance, making prevention and early detection crucial.
• Annual termite inspections by a pest control professional can help identify and prevent termite infestations.
