True or False? Termites
can only attack a home if
there is wood in direct
contact with the ground. |
False: Termites can build mud
tunnels many feet long to carry
them across concrete, iron, treated
wood, or any other material to reach
the vulnerable wood in your home. |
|
True or False? If you’ve
never seen a termite swarm,
you’ve got nothing to worry
about. |
False: Most people with termite-infested
homes have never seen a swarm.
Termites swarm only once or twice a
year, and only for a few hours. |
|
True or False? If you do see
a termite swarm inside, it
means your house is infested
by wood damaging termites. |
False: A swarm inside or outside a
house should be a warning that
termites are present in the soil
beneath. It is possible that wood-eating
workers have not yet invaded. Call for
an immediate professional inspection
before workers become a problem. |
|
True or False? Some types of
construction are “Termite-proof.” |
False: Many types of shields and walls
have been devised to prevent termites,
but none of them has been 100% effective. |
|
True or False? Termites can be
found in new homes. |
True: It’s not just in old or run-down
buildings that termites are found.
They’ve been discovered in new houses as early as four days after construction was completed. |
