HEY, DID YOU KNOW?
The termites eating your home can’t even see it.
Subterranean termite workers are blind—but that doesn’t stop them from finding wood, building tunnels and feeding their colony.
Here are three things most homeowners don’t know:
• They build their own protected highways. Those mud tubes on a foundation help termites travel while protecting them from drying out.
• They share meals. Workers feed other members of the colony, including the young and soldiers.
• Wood can look fine on the outside. Termites can consume the inside while leaving a thin outer surface intact.
What you can’t see is why inspections matter.
