August 17 is National Termite Prevention Day. And trust us, termites are no joke!

Why are termites one of the most dangerous types of pests?

1. Termites spend most of their time out of sight. That means your home can be infested with termites without ever seeing one out in the open.

2. Termites silently eat away at the structural wood of your home.

3. Termite swarmers can leave a nearby home and infest yours.
