Termite Facts
A typical homeowner's insurance policy does not cover destruction
caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in
damage to homes throughout the United States each year. It's important
that homeowners understand the threat of termites, and take the
necessary steps to protect their homes.
Subterranean termites are extremely destructive. First they build
tunnels to wooden structures, and then they burrow into those
structures to obtain food. Any wood or cellulose-containing material
constitutes termite food, and given time to do so, they'll eat until
nothing is left but a shell. Termites avoid light and air, so they
build their colonies where you're not likely to stumble upon them.
On the off chance you do see them, remember that it's easy to confuse
termites with ants. Fortunately, there are features that distinguish
them.
Ants
narrow waists
bent antennae
two sets of wings (one wing is longer than the other)
Termites
thick waists
straight antennae
two sets of wings (same size)
