Common Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites are notorious for causing extensive damage discreetly, often leaving little evidence until an infestation is well-established. Recognizing the early indicators of their presence is vital for protecting your property. Knowing what specific signs to watch for can prevent significant structural issues.

Here are the common indicators that may suggest a termite infestation in your home:

• Mud Tubes: These pencil-sized tubes made of soil and wood are commonly found on foundations, walls, or floor joists. They serve as sheltered pathways for subterranean termites between their colony and a wood food source.
• Discarded Wings: After swarming, reproductive termites shed their translucent wings. Finding piles of small, delicate wings near windowsills, doorways, or spiderwebs is a strong indicator of a nearby colony.
• Hollow-Sounding Wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer. Tapping on wooden structures like walls, floorboards, or baseboards and hearing a hollow or dull thud can suggest internal damage.
• Frass (Termite Droppings): Drywood termites produce small, pellet-like fecal droppings known as frass. These often accumulate in tiny mounds near infested wood or kick-out holes in furniture.
• Blistered or Darkened Wood: Termite tunneling beneath the surface can cause wood or painted surfaces to appear warped, blistered, or darker than surrounding areas. This indicates internal activity.
• Tight-Fitting Doors or Windows: As termites tunnel through wood, they create moisture, which can cause wooden frames to swell and stick. This may result in doors or windows becoming difficult to open or close.
