Structural Damage

• Termite infested wood is porous, brittle and fragile. Over time, termites can cause walls, support beams or floors to become structurally unsound and collapse. Although you may not always notice termite damage, it can still be taking place in areas that you can't see. As a rule, where there are termites there is termite damage.
  
  

Devalued Home

• Termite infestations do more than weaken the structure of your home. They can lead to serious devaluation of your property. Nobody wants to pay premium value for a home that is full of termites. If you ever intend to sell your property, it would be well worth the expense to eliminate any termite infestations.
  
  

Damage to the Landscape

• Termites don't just infest homes. They can also infest trees and shrubs, feasting on the bark until the plant dies. A yard containing mature trees is a gorgeous, peaceful haven that increases the value of your property. A termite infestation can ruin your landscaping, costing you both time and money to repair.
  
  

Ruined Personal Property

• Although termites usually consume wood, they can also get into books and clothing. Thus, termite infestations can even be costly for renters. Never rent or buy a home that has an unaddressed termite infestation.
