Many homeowners are not aware of how serious termite infestations can become. Some hope the termites will go away or think they won’t cause much damage. Termites will chew and destroy:
• Decaying and fresh wood sources
• Drywall
• Wallpaper
• Fabrics and carpets, and;
• Even swimming pool filtration systems(*1).
Termites do not leave good food and water sources behind without human intervention.

• Non-toxic to humans, pets, and essential organisms.
