Termites
Termites are small white, tan, or black insects that can cause severe destruction to wooden buildings. Sometimes there will be no sign the home is infested. Termite infestations can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings or insulation. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact.
