Signs Your Home Or Business May Have Termites
Termite signs can be different depending on the type of termites you have. In Texas, we have both subterranean termites and dry wood termites. Unfortunately, both can devastate the structural integrity of your home:
Drooping, Discolored & Damaged Drywall
Most drywall is actually made of paper, which termites can feed on. If you notice that your drywall is buckling, looks like it has been stained, or has tiny pinpoint holes, you may have termites in it.
Buckling Wooden Flooring
If your wooden or laminate flooring is buckling or can’t bear weight, you might have a termite problem. A professional will need to assess your house further though.
Crumbling Wood
If you notice wood around your home that’s crumbling or piles of sawdust anywhere in the vicinity of your house, you might have termites. You may also notice squeaky floorboards or wood that sounds hollow.
Mounds Of Termite Pellets
After consuming wood, termites will leave behind droppings. The size of the piles indicates the size of the colony, and the droppings look like small pellets. Unfortunately, subterranean termites leave their droppings belowground.
Mounds Of Termite Wings
Not all termites in a colony have wings so nly the breeding caste can fly. Termite wings look like elongated fish scales. Piles of them indicate that you not only have termites but that they’re also swarming and breeding.
Mud Tubes Climbing Your Walls
Subterranean termites build mud tubes that allow them to travel from their colony to where they’re feeding. These tubes are normally a good indication that you have termites in your home.
Flying Termite Swarms
Depending on the species, a flying termite can be anywhere from ¼ to ⅜ an inch long. They can be light-colored or dark brown, and they have four wings. Flying termites are often a homeowner’s first indication they may have a problem.
Termites Cause $5 Billion In Damages Yearly
