Termites are one of the most destructive pest insects in the world today, and they are here to stay, especially in the U.S. Termite populations thrive in hot and humid conditions, which can be found in most homes. Termites feed on wood, a natural source of protein for them. They digest the cellulose, which makes it easy for them to digest. Furthermore, termites thrive in moist conditions, where they grow their colonies. This is why they are so commonly found in most homes. However, even though termites thrive in these conditions, they don’t mean that your home will be overrun with them. The termite’s presence in your home is only a signal that there are termites in the area. And, there are early warning signs you can look out for to ensure that you aren’t unknowingly hosting termites in your home.
