While you may be nuzzled up, cozy in your bed each night, termites could be feasting on that foundation you worked so hard to live on. Every property and home owner should be aware of any and all threats that may be posed against their assets. This especially includes termites! The best offense is always a good defense when it comes to termites, and prevention is key! Listed below are some signs to look out for:
- Wings and droppings – one of the more obvious signs of termites are discarded wings that termites have left behind. Frass, or termite droppings is another obvious sign (they look like tiny black dots, similar to that of small black pellets. Unfortunately, if you find either of these things, there’s a pretty good chance that an infestation is well under way.
- Hollow wood – as we all know, termites love to feast on wood. If you knock and are wary that the sound is more hollow than it should be, seek out help immediately!
- Mud Tubes – Subterranean termites build mud tubes to use as highways between their colony and the source of their food, wood.
- Pin Holes – small, pin-like holes on drywall is a clear indicator of a termite presence.
