My name's Tyler Royce. I'm with TNT Pest Control. We're talking about termites and what they
eat. Termites will feed on roots, wood products, bark. A lot of people use bark for landscaping
around the home. I recommend not using any bark around the home, 'cause when it is touching
the ground, I have seen termites that'll...that'll come up and eat...eat bark products. Any type
of wood product, ranging from pianos to books to newspapers, boxes. I've done a few jobs
where, there was a storage unit. It was all fully concreted with boxes in there, and the
termites had worked their way up through the concrete and was eating all of the boxes and
newspapers and books. Any type of cellulose wood product the termites will...will eat.
And, they really like wood products that have a moisture content in it, they're really attracted
to that. Anything that's an easy meal for 'em, that's very high in content and moisture
they...they will feed on.
