Termites can cause chaos inside your home, and it’s difficult to know you have them until the damage is done. What’s more, the destruction can be severe, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating that property owners spend two billion dollars a year on structural repairs.
But aside from your home, termites can secretly cause damage in your yard, as they are attracted to wood and moisture. Think wood piles, rotting tree stumps, mulch, and wood chips. They’ll also make their way to standing water, leaky faucets, and clogged gutters and downspouts, which provide the damp environment where they thrive.
