Termites eat wood and can do extensive damage to your home if not detected in time and since termites only swarm once or twice a year, you may never even know they are there. Some estimates suggest that damage from termites in the United States exceeds 1 billion dollars annually. Does your homeowner’s insurance policy provide for the repair of damages caused by termites? Most homeowner policies do not therefore it is not an option to protect your home from termite infestation.
