A termite infestation can cause more damage to a property than any other type of pest infestation. Due to the fact that a termite infestation can remain undetected for so long, causing internal destruction without any exterior evidence, a termite colony infestation could potential threaten the structurally integrity of the building and result in costly repairs. The National Pest Management Association estimates that in the United States termites cause more than 5 billion dollars’ worth of damage annually. For property owners that encounter a termite infestation, they spend an average of $3000 to repair damages.
