Termites feed on wood and anything that is made from wood, which includes cardboard boxes, paper products, lumber shipping pallets, your deck, wood fencing, wood fence posts, building beams, stacked cordwood used in fireplaces and flooring. Each termite colony ranges from 20,000 termites to five million. The worker termites are the ones that will damage your home, as they construct the colony's tunnels and gather food. If you disturb a colony, you'll usually see soldier termites first, which defend the colony.
Mickey, Jerry and Chuck E. may entertain our children, but mice in homes are very destructive. Since they are rodents, they can chew through just about anything that is not metal, and in doing so can short out electrical wiring, create holes in PVC drain pipes, and cause damage to the wooden structure of your home. Their urine and feces can contaminate any surface they touch. When the food's gone the party's over. Get rid of any food sources, keeping all food in metal or glass containers with tight lids.
Ants can damage your home and one of the biggest threats is the carpenter ant. There are several types of carpenter ant that can be found in homes and other buildings. Normally, workers are black or red and black and are between 3⁄8 and 1⁄2 of an inch. Winged queen ants may be as large as an inch. Carpenter ants differ from termites by having dark-colored bodies that are not translucent, narrow waists, bent antennae and the winged ones have back wings shorter than the front wings. Carpenter ants are not shy and are frequently seen in the open.
