There are many different types of termites and only a small percentage of them can actually be harmful to your home. Subterranean termites are the most common type of termites. The colonies of subterranean termites can be up in the millions. Because they spend a lot of time growing their colony and establishing tunnels that spread out underground, they can take years to significantly damage your home, but once they do, it can definitely be very harmful, and it is something that you should deal with right away.

How can you tell if you have a termite infestation? There are many different things that may set you off to this. For example, if you see swarming termites on the door frames, around the windows, or around lights, chances are, you have an issue with infestation. Another way you might know that you have a problem is if you start to notice wings that have been shed trapped in cobwebs or on window sills or frames. Most obviously, though, would be if you start to notice damaged wood. At this point, the colony has likely begun to eat and destroy the wood in your house
