They can consume 15 lbs of wood per week — Termites cannot damage a foundation made of concrete; however, they can severely impact your home’s foundation if it’s made of wood. They often enter your home through tiny cracks in the foundation and begin feasting on the structure of your home. They can also infest areas close to the foundation of your home including crawl spaces and wooden porches.  

Their appetite goes beyond natural wooden structures — Termites’ primary choice of sustenance is cellulose. Cellulose is an organic substance that gives structure to plants. It is also found in wood, which is what termites target first. However, they can feed on almost anything that contains cellulose, such as the items shown below:

They’re financially draining — That dream home of yours might be one of the biggest investments you will ever make. The damage of a termite infestation can be financially devastating. Not only will you have to pay for the repairs to the foundation of your home, or to the affected area, but the resale value of your home will be significantly impacted.
