Myth No.1: My Home Is Safe Because It Is Made Of R.C.C & Brick Masonry
Commonly, our home building contains wooden doors, windows and other non-structural and sometimes structural members (especially in Semi-rural areas). Therefore, it attracts termites. Termites live by eating on wood and other cellulose materials. People who live in the houses made up of reinforced cement concrete and brick masonry often believe that their homes are safe and underestimate the termites as, according to them: there is no smorgasbord of wood in house to attract termites.
However, the truth is that termites can travel through cracks of concrete and brick masonry very easily. Windows, doors and their wooden frames are most suitable access points for termites and from there they can reach to your furniture inside the home while searching for their next meal. Therefore, you always need a protecting layer created by Anti-termite treatment around every home.
Myth No.2: My Home Is Safe Because It Was Previously Treated For Termites
