History of Termite Awareness Week

Termites have inhabited the Earth for more than 100 million years. These tiny creatures walked the Earth with dinosaurs. They also share a common ancestry with cockroaches, a creature well-known for its incredible resiliency. We think it’s part of the reason why controlling termite infestation can be such a challenge. Evolution over millions of years has ensured their survival against all odds.

Termites are sneaky little things that reproduce rapidly — quietly making their way through moist soil or mulch. Some termites can fly, while others live in wood and soil. What’s more, they have a taste for things other than wood. Termites are known to chew through fabric, plastic, and wallpaper too. Termites are silent destroyers since they nest out of sight. You may not realize the extent of an infestation until you go poking around the house or renovate. But by then, the damage is usually irreparable. Each year, termites cause over $5 billion in property damage in the U.S. That’s right, $5 billion! For perspective, termites cause more damage than tornadoes or fires combined.

In 2011, the National Pest Management Associate (N.P.M.A.) started Termite Awareness Week to generate more awareness about the issue. The week encourages homeowners and others to inspect their properties for termite infestation and prevent irreversible damages. Termite Awareness Week takes place the first week of Spring because it is the peak of the termite swarming season. Still, it’s worth remembering that termite control is an all-year endeavor. Take care to check decaying wood or plants around your house. Some giveaways that indicate termite presence are narrow mud tubes or spongy wood. Try and break them open to rule out termite workers living inside. Homeowners everywhere can take precautions by remaining vigilant.
