Where the termite live?

Termites work their way by feeding on cellulose commonly found, but not limited to wood. They could also be feasting on wallpapers, books, furniture, anything where cellulose is found. They are very difficult to detect because they are destroying things inside out. Some may even find damages to structures that are too late to be salvaged and repaired forcing them to discard and lose money. It is therefore necessary for responsible home owners to take precautionary steps in dealing with termites.
