Termites:
Termites are extremely destructive pests that cause millions of dollars in damage to homes and buildings each year. Though they are burdensome to most property owners in the US, they are a particular problem in the southeast. To complicate matters, termites are amazingly adept at gaining access to your home or building, are active 24 hours a day, and can feed for several years with very few visible signs of activity.
Termites are highly social insects that live in colonies where populations can reach more than one million. In the spring, winged "reproductives" leave the parental nest in swarms to create a new colony. The swarming lasts less than an hour, so it's very likely you'll never even see it. The winged reproductives themselves look quite a bit like flying ants, for which they are often mistaken.

Termites feed on cellulose materials as structural wood, wood fixtures, paper, books, and even cotton. They constantly forage for food resources and will follow tree roots and construction conduits such as pipes and footers to gain entry into your home.
