00:00Seeing this in your house, this is a major camera swirl.
00:05What'd I tell you?
00:06Do you have a vacuum cleaner?
00:08Yeah.
00:09You can get these, start sucking these up as quickly as possible before they're all over the house.
00:12How you can tell ants and termites?
00:14Ants have elbowed antennas.
00:16See the antennas?
00:17How on my phone?
00:18They're straight.
00:19Of course, I've been doing this for 30 years, so I know termites pretty well.
00:23Termites can cause severe structural damage to homes.
00:26And if he doesn't get this under control quick, he will have repairs that are going to cost thousands.
00:31Right here's the workers.
00:32You can look right here real quick.
00:33And you think that's like the original floor or something like that?
00:36Or just the original threshold?
00:37Yeah, that's just the original threshold.
00:39Is there a whole piece of wood running?
00:40Yep, runs all the way across.
00:42How long ago did you guys buy this?
00:44In October.
00:45Did it have a termite inspection?
00:47Yes.
00:48It did?
00:48Yes.
00:49And what did they say?
00:50That it passed.
00:52Your termite inspection passed?
00:53Yes.
00:54Termite inspections can be costly on their own.
00:56And if done poorly, the consequences can be disastrous.
00:59We just bought this house, folks.
01:02Major termite infestation.
01:05But check this out.
01:07Remember I was always telling you how the termites will come out to the surface and they stop?
01:13It's all termite peel.
01:15Termites eat the inside of wood, leaving only a thin outside layer.
01:18They have paid a lot of money for this house, and he is about to do a test which may bring
01:23all their worst fears to life.
01:26I guess if that's hollow, it'll go soom.
01:33What'd I tell you?
01:35What'd I tell you?
01:36Look at this.
01:36Let's house this up for seal.
01:48God, they check these baseboards.
01:50Look at that.
01:52That's all good.
01:54And then, hear the difference?
01:56This is not good.
01:58And with each floor, it was only going to get worse.
02:00I can't imagine what them two-by-fours look like.
02:12But we won't need to imagine because we are about to find out.
02:25This wood is full to the brim with termites.
02:28And a lot of the furniture is far too damaged to save.
02:31Termite colonies can vary in size, from a few hundred to millions in others.
02:36Once you are hugely outnumbered, there is little you can do.
02:43This wood is going to need to be replaced.
02:45But if you ever see signs of a termite infestation, depending on the severity,
02:49you can either replace the damaged wood entirely or repair the area yourself
02:53by scraping away loose debris and adding filler and a wood hardener to the area.
02:58Termites all over it.
02:59That's crazy.
03:00Look at that.
