…actually I think that was something I saw in a cartoon when I was a kid - an armada om termites will not come stomping (ground shaking) and turn your beautiful home into sawdust in a matter of minutes or hours.

Nontheless, it is true that a termite infestetion definitely is a very real threat, and the damage it will cause over time will be expensive to repair. So if you are unfortunate enough to have your home attacked by termites it is of the utmost importance to contact a termite extermination professional as soon as possible.

And in case you where wondering - yes, this is a task that require a professional’s help. Although it will cost you a little, the sum will be a pittance compared to what repairing serious termite damage would cost.

Termites are something that most of us thankfully do not need to worry about in our home and garden. A well established western termite colony can easily contain several million insects. Untended, they are capable of literally destroying a house, or any other wooden structure.

However, termites are actually quite common on the west coast of the United states, and are generally found throughout California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and Nevada.

If you live in those areas, or you are interested in learning more about termites anyway - or rather how to get rid of them - you should consult our newly opened section about reticulitermes hesperus - the western termite.
