However, It is strongly recommended that if this termite situation happens in your neighborhood, you should get your home thoroughly inspected. as all the houses in your neighborhood are at risk of picking termite infestation . Moreover termites travel upto 70 metres in all directions in search of cellulose base food. If the age of the house is the same, type of construction and material used is the same and moisture level of the soil is the same, then it becomes utmost essential that you get your house inspected against termites invasion.
Your house is not a fortress , and your for walls can not protect it from the most envasive pest on earth. Do it right away, even if you don’t see any signs of termite infestation. It is like buying peace and you have no worries. In the meantime, take measures and ensure that you don’t give termites an open invitation to the inside of your house. When a new house is constructed there is always some extra wood (that could not be used in making wooden doors, windows and cupboards) which remain unused. In northen part of India homeowners have a tendency to store that extra and left over wood in the overhead lofts. This stored wood which remains unattended attract termites and prove to be a hazard.
