Pests Off!

        You should have your home regularly inspected. Termites don't live on their own. They infest your house in colonies, organized similarly to a bee hive or an ant's nest. That affects the way you have to try to deal with them because it's not just a matter of killing a bunch of them. You have to kill off the colony for the infestation to end.

     If you've already got a colony in or near your home or even termite larvae as shown in the termite larvae pictures , you're going to have an exterminator and get rid of it. Find an exterminator! The site about termites can give you tips on termite prevention techniques.
