A massive $40 billion annual industry is dedicated to termites, as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In the United States, these tiny vicious creatures destroy parts of more than 600,000 homes every year.
Termites are also known as “silent destroyers” which can infest and destroy your home or property. The termites are good at secretly hiding and thriving without you finding out which may cause severe damage without signs of any immediate signs of damage.
There are ways to prevent your home and space from this termite infestation-
Let your furniture be in the sunlight
Termites enjoy the dark areas, Exposing them to sunlight is likely to create chaos in their life. Just a couple of hours of sunlight twice a week on a hot sunny day can give these termites a run for their lives. Again the logic is, not to allow these dangerous insects a place to hide. Remember the sunlight is supposed to reach each and every corner of the furniture.
