Termites (white ants) that part of ants, it can destroying house's wood or other building that contains wood. I'm wondering that some cities has alot of termites problem.

Los Angeles has plenty of termite problems since it has so many wooden bungalows. I doubt New York proper could come close.

Yeah, I have to agree. I doubt New York and the rest of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic for that matter has a huge issue with termites. We're more of a roaches and rats environment. LOL.

Well. Los Angeles County is pretty heavy with termites but much better than brown recluse spider. There is between none and very rare to have brown recluse spider in California and it's very common in South including Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri but pretty rare in some Southern states that about 100 miles away from coast so Southern Florida is rare too.

Termites is much better and less harmful than brown recluse spider but you don't need pay medicial center for victim from termites.

I've yet to ever live in a place here in Tampa that wasn't treated for termites at one point or another, and I've lived here for almost 20 years, in 8 different places of residence.
