4). Insect Destroyers of the Underworld

We are talking termites here, those tiny creatures that may go unseen for years until someone (an inspector maybe?) comes looking for them. The thing to remember is that termites work very slowly so it may take several years to do any serious damage to a house, so don’t worry too much until the condition can be assessed.
