Termites, without them we'd be 100 feet deep in dead trees all around the world, they have a significant job to do, and they do it well. However, termites cause more damage, to more homes, every single year than all the wars have done since the beginning of time, it just all spread out so you don't recognize it.

3. However, termites cause more damage to
more homes, every single year than all the
wars have done since the beginning of time,
it just all spread out so you don't recognize
it. In every country in the world, termites do
billions of dollars of damage with their
infestations and colonies.

4. One of the most effective
measures that a
homeowner can take
against termites, and their
damage, is to do periodic
inspections of your home
for infestations. Let's go
over a few basic, and easy,
tasks that the homeowner
can do to substantially
mitigate their risk to
termite damage.

5. Most termite damage is
caused by subterranean
termites that live in fallen
trees, and their roots below
ground level, in huge
colonies involving millions
upon millions of drone
workers. These workers work
tirelessly from birth to death,
24 hours a day, finding and
eating the wood from your
house.

6. When locating pests of any kind, there are
couple of valuable tools that you need
have, the first will be a powerful flashlight,
a screwdriver, good eyesight, and the
diligence to make it happen.

7. When the termite
colonies come out of
the ground looking for
your home, they build
mud tubes up the
outside of your
foundation to the
wood, and then burrow in. Once they've
found a good meal, they return to the colony
and bring back a steady stream of worker
drones that will then continue to consume
your home 24 hours a day.

8. If you have found some mud tubes rising
up from the ground along your
foundation, you'll want to immediately
knock them down, and then you need to
soak the ground thoroughly with the
appropriate insecticide to prevent their
return.

9. The screwdriver that you have so
diligently carried so far is to probe the
wood in suspect locations to see if the
termites have eaten substantial amounts
of your home. Even though they work
slowly they are relentless.

10. As you can see, inspecting your home is
fairly easy task that should not be neglected.
By repeating the process, both inside and
outside of the home, every couple of months
you will be able to completely prevent any
termite infestation. Maintaining a perimeter
blockade of insecticide is also a valuable
deterrent.
