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.
The best way to determine if you have a termite infestation is to contact
a licensed pest control professional at Bizzy Bee Exterminators. Bizzy Bee
Exterminators will conduct a complete inspection of your home or business
to determine if you have termites or conditions conducive to termites,
and then recommend the best course of action for eliminating them quickly
and completely.
