Wood Destroying Insects

Termites and other wood-destroying insects eat wood and can cause significant structural damage to a home. A typical homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover destruction caused by wood-destroying organisms, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year.

Protect your investment against termites and wood destroying insects. Let CBS thoroughly inspect your home—inside and out—for signs of infestation. Our experts look for:

  • Mud tubes built for traveling above ground
  • Pinholes in wood framing, drywall or wallpaper
  • Piles of small wings
  • Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
  • Carpenter ants body parts
  • Small piles of sawdust
  • Holes in exterior wood trim
  • Pollen discharge
  • Other specific termite indicators
