While it is winter here in Omaha and Lincoln, and we don’t have a lot of insect activity, it is never too early to start preparing for them! One of these insects that you shouldn’t delay preparing for is termites!
Termites are one of those pests that no homeowner ever wants to deal with, and can be extremely dangerous. While they pose no threat to you or your family directly, they can be very dangerous because of how they affect the structure of your buildings.
Termites live in colonies. Each termite colony typically contains between 60,000 and 1 million termites. In fact, there are so many termites in the world that the total weight of all termites is more than the total weight of all the humans in the world! As you could imagine, termites are very social and because of their sociable habits, they raise their young as a group!
Termites are considered dangerous because of the damage they cause to the structure of buildings as they eat the wood used in the building. Termites actually will eat non-stop, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. When you have 60,000 to 1 million termites that are eating all the time, they can do a lot of damage fast.
