Termites feed on and live in wood due to the cellulose it contains. If wooden structures or anything else is in contact with the soil, termites are especially prone. Most homes these days are built primarily with wood, which is why termites find your property so appealing. Inside, this means your walls, support beams, drywood, ceilings, floor boards, baseboards, windows, and insulation. In your backyard, termites can infest piles of firewood, roof tiles, patio furniture, decaying logs, and more. This makes it important to always look for signs or termite damage.
