  Q. Do termites only attack old, rundown buildings? A. Termites have been found in buildings as early as four days after construction. Every building fabricated wholly or partly of wood is susceptible to termite infestation.
Q. Are there different kinds of termites? A. Entomologists have identified over 2,300 species worldwide, 45 of which exist in the United States. Generally, homeowners only need to worry about two types: Subterranean and Drywood termites. Each must be dealt with separately.
Q. Are there other wood-destroying insects to worry about? A. Besides termites, there are many other insects that can feed on the wood in your home. Powder-post beetles are second only to termites in the severity of their destruction. Like termites, they can also do extensive damage before their presence is known.
Q. If I've never seen any evidence of drywood termites or powder-post beetles. Does that mean my home is free from wood-destroying pests? A. Not necessarily. These pests work from the inside out and are extremely difficult to detect. Drywood termites are especially difficult because, with the exception of rarely seen swarmers, the other members of the colony spend their entire lives inside the wood.
