How much damage? They can cause damage as soon as they find your home. Termites cause more damage to homes in the US then tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods combined. That is a pretty hefty amount of damage. They eat wood very rapidly. The type of termite would depend on how rapid and how much damage is caused.
