Eastern subterranean termites might be small, but they can cause extensive damage before you ever know they're there. These silent insects work around the clock, tunneling through wood, floors, and walls — sometimes for years — before the signs become visible. By the time damage is discovered, repairs can cost thousands of dollars.
Fun Fact: Termites cause more damage each year than fires, floods, and storms combined — yet most insurance policies don't cover it!
Signs of a Termite Problem
- Mud tubes along walls or foundation
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Peeling or bubbling paint
- Tiny piles of discarded wings
- Doors or windows are suddenly sticking or hard to close
