Are Termites eating you out of your Fort Myers home? If you suspect termite damage, please call us for a free termite inspection.
Termites cause billions of dollars of damage each year. They primarily feed on wood, but also damage papre, books, insulation and even swimming pool liners. Termites can injure living trees and shrubs, but more often are a secondary invader of woody plants already in decline.
