What Is Behind Your Wall?

Detecting termites can be problematic, as much of the time the activity is going on behind your walls.  Wood paneling, drywall, painted surfaces, etc., can all cover up the presence of termites, preventing detection until they appear on the surface in the form of trails and tubes. 

It is important to remember that even if you don't see them, you may still have them, especially in a region where termite populations are high.
Arizona residents often will remark, "when it comes to termites, it's not IF you will have them, it's WHEN."

Treating your home for termites before they are detected is a good preventative measure for avoiding costly damage to your home.  Take a look at this brief video showing termite damage behind a wall.
