Terminix releases top 15 US termite cities list

Terminix has released its ranking of the 15 most-infested U.S. cities, and revealed that residents of Mobile, Ala., reported the most cases of termite infestations in 2016, followed by three cities in Texas and four in Florida. In addition to the warmer weather, the high number of infestations in Florida can also be attributed to the presence of six invasive termite species.
