Termite colonies of the dry wood termites can seriously damage your furniture because they typically create a huge number of soldier caste on the wooden structure that they infest.
Common Problems caused by termites
The termites infesting your wooden structures like furniture can lead to some serious allergic reactions and other health problems. This is because of the dust emitted from the wooden structures. The dust is easily spread into the air by the ventilation system in your house. As a result, you may end up suffering from numerous allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
Besides the wooden dust from the termite nests, termites also spread mold. Termites live in dark environments where mold also grows. When the termites chew, bite or crawl through the mold, they disperse the mold. As a result, the mold travels into the air hence easily inhaled by anyone. Some mold may even land on your skin, leading to serious illnesses. If you live in Florida, you need to seek Hialeah Termite Treatment as soon as you experience any of these symptoms.

Since termites are naturally non-aggressive and do not like to come out in the open, they rarely bite humans or pets. However, when they do, the pain is unbearable. This is because of the big mandibles they use to bite and their strength. Besides the pain, the termite sting also causes itchiness and tissue swelling.
Fortunately, this is not a real danger compared to the other effects because termites travel through mud tubes, wood hollows, and mud tubes; hence, they rarely need to bite humans or pets. They also require a constant supply of moisture; thus, they stay in the dark, concealed areas with moisture.
