Termites, often referred to as the “silent destroyers,” cause extensive damage to wooden structures, often going unnoticed until significant harm has been done. With over 600,000 homes in the U.S. affected by termite infestations each year, the economic impact is substantial. Homeowners typically spend an average of $3,000 on repairs and treatments following a termite infestation.

Key Findings from the Report:

– National Cost Impact: Termite damage and control costs exceed $5 billion annually.
– Homeowner Expenses: The average cost per affected homeowner is approximately $3,000.
– Regional Variations: States in the Southeast and Southwest regions experience the highest rates of termite activity, accounting for nearly 60% of the total damage costs.
– Preventative Measures: Homes with proactive termite inspection and treatment plans show significantly lower damage costs, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance.
