One of the biggest threats to your house comes in the form of Wood Destroying Insect. These pests silently and almost invisibly consume wood. Some estimates put the damage caused by these creatures at more than $1 billion a year.
It is often difficult for a homeowner to spot these pests and professional inspections every few years can prevent huge problems down the road. If you suspect a problem with wood-destroying insects, immediately contact a professional to accurately identify the insects before taking control measures, but don’t panic. The damage inflicted by WDI occurs over a long time (months) and it is likely the creatures were there long before you noticed them.
