Signs of termite damage — Amsterdam, Noord-Holland
Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage annually in the US — more than fires, floods, and storms combined. Because they eat wood from the inside out, infestations often go unnoticed until structural damage is severe. A pest control professional can inspect, identify the species, and recommend treatment before costly repairs are needed.
