What Are the Signs of a Termite Infestation?

You may be curious about identifying a termite infestation in your home. Luckily, termites have several ways of making themselves known.

Some of the most common signs include:

• Swarming termites: During the spring and early summer, termites will swarm and reproduce. These swarms are visible and made up of many termites at a time. When swarming, you can often find them around flying bright lights.
• Mud tubes: Termites build mud tubes to protect themselves from the elements while traveling between the colony and the wood they eat. These tubes can be found on the outside of a home, particularly around the foundation.
• Hollow-sounding wood: Termites eat the soft, inner wood of structures, leaving behind a shell. If you tap on wood that sounds hollow, it may be a sign of termite damage.
• Discarded wings: Termites shed their wings after they swarm and establish a new colony. If you find a pile of tiny, translucent wings, it is a good indication that termites are present.
• Frass: Termites produce frass, a combination of feces and bits of wood. You can find this material near the colony and where the termites are feeding.

It is important to note that some of these signs can be hard to spot, especially if they are hidden behind walls or in hard-to-reach areas. That's why it's always a good idea to have us thoroughly inspect your home to detect any signs of termite infestation.
