Termites are insects that love to eat wood and can cause severe structural damage to a building. A colony can consist of over three million termites that will burrow into the woodwork of a structure to weaken the wood. In addition to eating away at any furniture or other items that are made from wood. While problems may not occur immediately to the building or objects, if left unattended, the damage can be distressing and costly for the property owner to repair.
