HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT THERE
IS TERMITE?
1. BLISTERS IN WOOD FLOORING
These areas or blisters can indicate termites feeding
within or below. Subterranean termites can cause damage to the
subfloor, which can make your wood flooring appear as if it has water damage.
2. HOLLOWED OR
DAMAGED WOOD
Wood damage can be found below and behind surfaces like
walls, floors and more. This can be caused by termites chewing through wood in
search of cellulose, leaving behind long grooves. Over time, these grooves
weaken the wood and create structural damage. Hollowed wood usually has a
honeycomb interior and an empty sound.
3. EVIDENCE OF
SWARMS
Discarded termite wings can be found near closed
windows, doors and other home-access points. This is caused when termites swarm
out of their nest to mate and find a place start a new colony. When they land,
termites intentionally twist their wings off because they will never need them
again. Termite wings are all the same size while ants have one pair of larger
wings (front) and one pair of smaller wings (rear).
4. MUD TUBES
Pencil-sized mud tubes can be found wherever
the ground meets your house or any other possible food source like a tree or
shed. This is because subterranean termites nest underground and forage up to
their food source, which is often a house structure. These termites require certain
temperature and humidity levels to survive. Their tunnels help block out cool,
dry air, effectively turning your home into an environment where they can
thrive.
5. DRYWOOD
TERMITE DROPPINGS
Drywood termites nest inside of wood. While
tunneling and eating the wood they’re infesting, they create galleries that
they like to keep them clean. To keep them clean, they create kick out holes
where they remove their excrement. And since drywood termites eat wood, their
excrement is wood, which essentially creates mounds of pellets. These mounds of
pellets, resembling sawdust or coffee grounds, may indicate the presence of
drywood termites.
Termite
damage can go unnoticed for a while, and by the time damage is noticed,
significant structural damage may already be done. That’s why it’s best to be
proactive when it comes to termite control. Help protect your property by
