MEMPHIS - In honor of Termite Awareness Week, Terminix today released its ranking of the top 50 most termite-infested cities in the United States. Southern cities dominated the list, with Mobile coming in at #1 on the list.
Termites often flourish in warm, humid environments. Because these pests tend to remain out of sight, they can cause extensive damage before homeowners even realize there is a problem. In fact, the average cost associated with treating and repairing damage from an infestation is more than $8,000.
