Possibly the biggest problem with termites in Virginia is the ignorant bliss that so many of us live with. Termites cause more home damage in Virginia, each year, than all natural disasters combined. Unlike other bugs, you can’t wait until you see a problem to address it, because by then it can be too late!
What's the big deal with termites in Fredericksburg?
Why are termites such a threat to our homes? Because termites need a few things in life: food, moisture, shelter, proper temperature. Guess which of these our homes provide… That’s right, all of them! Our homes are built of soft, pulpy woods (Spruce, Pine, Fir) that is LITERALLY their favorite entrée! This matters because it allows them to build hydrated mud tunnels that protect them from predators, light, air, heat, cold… it pretty much makes them the safest they could possibly be. Oh, and the interior of our walls pretty much gives them the perfect climate year-round. Pretty much we couldn’t have built them a more perfect paradise if they had ordered it themselves.
