Termites date back more than 120 million years to the time of the dinosaurs. They are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected. Each year, termites cause billions of dollars in property damage. This is why being vigilant about termite control and termite extermination is so important.

Swarmers looking to start a new colony are typically the first sign of termite season as these winged-pests show up inside homes in early spring.
