When humans get hungry, we’ve been known to say “I’m starving to death” or “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.”  When humans are hungry, we may get a little dramatic with overstatements to express it, but ultimately, we eat.  Termites skip the drama and go straight to the eating. Although they aren’t interested in eating a horse, just all parts of your HOUSE.  There are Drywood Termites that can eat your home from the inside out and Subterranean termites that eat your house from the outside in.  Together, they cost property owners billions of dollars in damage each year.  Eastern Subterranean termites are the most popular here in Central Virginia and they won’t hesitate to make a meal out of your house if you leave it unprotected. We know a great deal about termites in Central Virginia and we’re here to tell you more about how to control them.
