Southeastern U.S. Braces For Heavy Termite Season

Termite swarming season will be ramping up soon as the weather starts to get warmer and the spring season approaches — with many termite species being particularly prevalent in the Southeast. In case you’ve never heard, termites are nicknamed “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and wallpaper without any immediate signs of damage. In fact, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage each year— costs that are typically note covered by homeowners’ insurance policies.

That is why it’s extremely important to know what types of termite species are active in your area and to understand ways to prevent them from causing damage to your home.
