The answer to 'why do I have termite' is that termites are a common pest problem for homeowners. Termites feed on the wood in your home, which can cause significant structural damage over time if left untreated. Some common causes of termite infestations include wood-to-ground contact, moisture issues, and nearby tree stumps or wood piles.
Signs of a termite problem can include mud tubes on the exterior of your home, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, and the presence of winged termites (also known as swarmers). If you suspect a termite infestation, it's important to address it promptly, as termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage. While some minor termite issues may be treatable with DIY methods, it's generally best to call in a professional pest control technician to properly inspect, identify the extent of the problem, and implement the most effective treatment plan.
