The Danger of Termites on your Home

Termites can cause serious damage to your home if left unchecked. They feed on wood, and if they invade your home, they can eat away at the structure of the building. Termites can also damage the insulation, electrical wiring, and even your furniture. Termites can also spread disease by contaminating food sources. They can damage wallpaper, carpets, and other items in your home. In addition, if you have a wooden deck or fence, termites can quickly destroy these items as well. If you have an infestation, the damage can be extensive and costly to repair. In addition to the physical damage they can cause, termites can also cause an unpleasant odor in your home. If you suspect you have termites in your home, it is important to contact a professional pest control company as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Remember Proven Choice Home Inspection has certified pest inspectors that can help diagnose a termite infestation.
