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.
