One of the most destructive “acts of nature” not typically covered by homeowners' insurance is termite damage. Every year, homeowners and businesses spend billions of dollars due to damage caused by termites. No matter where your home is located or how old it is, it’s susceptible to termites. In the south, the question has never been if you will get termites but when.
Prevention is the best treatment for termite damage as oftentimes you won’t know you have a problem until the termites are already well established. Termites can remain undetected until major repairs are needed. All too often, homeowners underestimate termites’ ability to destroy property and do not invest in prevention.
