TERMITES

Termites cause over $5 billion in damage to U.S. homes each year.1

One small termite colony of approximately 60,000 termites can eat a linear foot of a common two‑by‑four in just 5 months.2

In some regions of the United States, Formosan subterranean termite colonies typically number in the millions, and forage over 100-meter distances.3

Subterranean termites cause over 90 percent of termite damage in the U.S.

Swarming can begin in January in the South; May or June in the North.

Colonies can contain from several thousand to more than a million foragers.

Some termites can chew through lead, asphalt, plaster or mortar to find wood.

Almost 4 million U.S. homes are infested by termites each year. Termites can be found in every state except for Alaska.4
