One type of pest that homeowners fear is the termite. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year. They primarily feed on wood, but also like paper, books, insulation, and even swimming pool liners. Termites can enter your home through the tiniest cracks.

Wood damaged by termites is typically hollowed out with bits of dried mud or soil. Wood damaged by moisture or other
