They’ll chew up wood used for the construction of buildings as well as wood inside them, like picture frames, furniture or even wedge shoes!

According to the Department of Agriculture, termite infestations and their economic impact in the United States to HOAs, single family homes and commercial buildings each year is over $5 billion dollars.
