Signs of Termites

Detecting termites early is crucial for effective termite control. Here are common signs that may indicate the presence of termites in your home:

01

Mud Tubes

Termites build mud tubes to provide moisture and protection as they travel between their nest and a food source. These pencil-sized tubes can be found on foundation walls, crawl spaces, or wooden structures.

02

Wood Damage

Termites feed on wood from the inside out, making it challenging to detect damage. Look for hollow-sounding wood, blistering or darkening, and buckling paint or tiny holes in wooden structures.

03

Hollow Wood

Termites create galleries or tunnels in wood. If you tap on wood and it sounds hollow or you notice intricate patterns of tunnels, it could be a sign of termite activity.

04

Cracked or Bubbling Paint

Termites produce moisture as they feed on wood, which can cause paint to bubble or peel. Check for these signs, especially around windows, doors, and wooden trim.

Control and Management

  • Liquid Treatments

    Liquid termiticides are often applied to the soil around the perimeter of a structure. This creates a barrier that termites cannot cross, effectively preventing them from entering the building. This treatment is commonly used for both pre-construction and post-construction termite control.

  • Bait Systems

    Termite bait systems involve placing bait stations in the soil around the property. These stations contain materials that are attractive to termites. When termites consume the bait, they carry it back to the colony, eventually leading to the elimination of the entire colony. Bait systems are considered environmentally friendly as they target termites specifically.

  • Wood Treatments

    Wood treatments involve applying termiticides directly to wooden structures or using pressure-treated wood during construction. This helps create a protective barrier, deterring termites from infesting the wood. This method is often used as a preventive measure.
