Are termites difficult to treat?
It is almost impossible for the homeowner to eliminate termites working on his or her own. It is best to call pest control professionals as they have the expertise and the proper products to eliminate infestations. Eighty Percent of the wood eaten by termites is hidden within walls. A colony can house millions of termites, and can be active for more than 5 years before the damage becomes visible. A large colony can consume more than 2 pounds of food (wood) per day.
