Termites – Scarier than Your Ugliest Christmas Sweater

Imagine this – It’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Day and when you open the carton in your basement where your winter sweaters reside, you find that something’s been eating away at the soft wool of the ugly sweater you’re supposed to wear to a party tonight. Before you chalk the damage up to moths, pick out another sweater, and forget the whole thing, you should stop and remember that they are not the only household pests that feast on clothing. Termites are also attracted to both your clothing and the carton in which they’re packed. So, while you might find yourself putting on a back up ugly sweater on December 15th, December 16 might be the day to consider termite control.

Why My Favorite Ugly Sweater?!

The wood that termites are known to munch on is composed of cellulose – the same material as cardboard cartons and natural fiber clothing. Unfortunately, if termites have eaten your ugly sweater, you have a much more serious problem to think about – the damage they may be causing to your home.
