Termites attack wood that is placed in or near the ground. The species called “subterranean termites” is notable for being one of the most destructive ever. Termites must keep in direct communication with their underground nests to flourish.
Why do termites attack my home? This is one of the most common questions homeowners usually ask when faced with the problem. Termites will invade any house that: contains the food containing “cellulose material” such as wood and carpets. In addition to food, termites need dampness or moisture for their nests. If a proper barrier can be erected between these “termite requirements” less damage will be done.
Prevention is the key here, building-in protection while constructing a home would be most recommended especially if the home or grade is located in a woody area. Also most damage can be avoided by using termite shields, chemically treated wood or soil poisoning.
