What should I do?
Termites never stop eating and are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a homeowner believes a termite infestation may be present, it is time to bring in a professional. A termite professional will conduct an extensive investigation of both the interior and exterior of your home. If active termites are found, the homeowner has a number of options for treatment.
