Termites may be small, but they have caused billions of dollars in damages each year in the United States alone. Primarily, they feed on wood for food, but they also feed on your important papers, boxes, your favorite books, and insulation. All termites consume cellulose-based plant materials, which is the reason why all our homes and buildings are sitting ducks to these termites; all homes can provide cellulose food for them. It is also important to note that, termites are a big consideration when buying or selling a home. A buyer would normally have your house inspected for termites. If found to be infested, a sale will not be closed.
Types Of Termites
In the United States, there are three major types of termites: the subterranean, drywood, and dampwood termites.
Termite Diet
No, this is not another diet fad. Termites are detritivores, they eat dead wood and plants. They also eat mulch, stumps, and roots. There are times that they also eat living trees. Other things they eat are carpets, cardboard, fabric, and animal feces.
How To Prevent Termite Infestation
The obvious way to prevent termite infestation is to remove their food source. Avoid wood to soil contact; remove wood piles and keep them away from the house’s foundation; do not build wooden structures near the foundation or crawl space; get rid of debris near the house; minimize plant materials.
You should also eliminate moisture problems by repairing leaking faucets, water pipes, and air conditioning units. Keep gutters clean, get rid of stagnant water on the roof.
However, once infested, there is nothing much you can do. It is not advisable to do it yourself as termite termination requires special skills. That is where the professionals come in.
