Termites are often called silent destroyers because they can cause serious damage to your home without making any noise. Although small in size, these insects can unknowingly damage your valuables such as wood, floors, and even wallpaper, which may be impossible to repair.
Termite infestation is a common occurrence in the humid and densely populated cities of Kolkata as termites prefer damp and dirty places and these become a nuisance to the homeowner and a matter of serious concern.
The importance of termite control in Kolkata
Kolkata’s tropical climate, warm humid weather, and moderate winters are a breeding ground for termites, especially subterranean termites, which breed in moist soil and enter homes, causing serious damage. Termites breed in moist soil and enter homes by creating extensive mud tunnels in search of food sources.
If these termites are not controlled in a timely manner, they can later cause costly repairs, ruining the structural integrity of the house and causing serious damage to furniture.
Symptoms of termite infestation
Early detection of termites can help you avoid many problems later on. Here are some common signs that indicate that your home or area is infested with termites.

If you notice any of the above symptoms, it’s time to contact a professional pest control service.
