Q : Where do termites come from?
A : Termite colonies are located underground. They are usually found near rotting wood (dead trees, old pallets, firewood, etc.). They also need a water source, areas where the ground is moist because of a water run-off or a leaky faucet. If there are termites located around your home, eventually they may enter the interior of your home if no previous treatment has been done.
