They are cryptic and infestations can go undetected for years as they hide behind walls, floor coverings, insulation, and other obstructions. yet, they can be busy destroying your home or business from the inside out. Their feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact.
