They will not stop. Unless you stop them. Termites are designed for destruction and cause nearly $5 billion in damage to U.S. homes every year. In addition, termites:

Live in colonies of several thousand to several million foragers
Have been known to destroy lead, asphalt, plaster or mortar when in search of wood
Are found in every U.S. state except Alaska
Infest over four-million U.S. homes each year
Cause damage in hidden areas, behind walls, in crawl spaces and basements
Can go unnoticed for years while continuing to damage your home
Create costly destruction that most homeowner policies do not cover
