Signs of a Termite Infestation
Termites are crafty critters, often causing significant damage before their presence is detected. Luckily, there are signs to alert you of a potential termite invasion.
Here’s what to look out for:
- Discarded Wings: Termites often shed their wings after finding a new nesting spot. If you find small, wing-shaped debris around your home, it may be a sign of termite activity.
- Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites build pencil-sized mud tubes that serve as protective tunnels from their colony in the soil to the wood in your home. Check your home’s foundation for these tell-tale signs.
- Hollow Wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer of timber or paint. If your walls or wooden structures sound hollow when tapped, it could indicate a termite infestation.
- Frass or Termite Droppings: Drywood termites create small, ridged, wood-colored droppings as they eat through infested wood.
- Warped Doors and Windows: Termites produce moisture as they eat through wood, causing doors and windows to warp. Difficulty opening these can often be an early sign of an infestation.
- Clicking Sounds: When threatened, soldier termites tap their heads against the wood to signal danger to the rest of the colony. If you hear a faint clicking sound from your walls, it’s time to call Akela Pest Control.
