Termites

Termite warning signs and what to do next

Termites damage wood quietly, often for a long time before anything looks wrong. Mud tubes on a foundation wall, discarded wings near a window, hollow-sounding wood or paint that bubbles for no clear reason can all be early warnings. Because repairs can be extensive, catching signs early makes a real difference.

The guides here help you recognize termite evidence, tell it apart from look-alike problems such as flying ants and moisture damage, and reduce the conditions that attract them. You will learn how to inspect your home, manage wood and soil contact, and fix moisture issues. Confirmed termite activity is usually a job for a licensed pest professional, so the guides also explain what an inspection involves and how to prepare for one.
