au contraire, termites are little white specs basically. my step father works for any pest, give them a try. its good work, good service. my step father is at 770-527-1905. his name is bob, but he is in the wildlife section, just ask about termites and tell him someone refered you.
If your step father told you that, then he is very misinformed, little boy. As I stated, I was a termite inspector and tech for 5 years, and know quite a bit about them as that is all I dealt with. Later, QD.
