Signs of Termite Damage

• Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel between nests and food sources. These pencil-sized tubes, often found along the foundation or exterior walls, are a common termite control indicator.
• Wood Damage: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving hollow or weakened wood. When tapped, infested wood may sound hollow or papery and can sometimes crumble upon touch—often one of the earliest signs of termite activity. Early termite detection here can simplify termite repair.
• Termite Droppings (Frass): Drywood termites leave behind frass—tiny wood-colored pellets resembling sawdust. These droppings often accumulate in small piles beneath infested wood or near entry points, indicating an active infestation.
• Discarded Wings: Reproductive termites (swarmers) shed their wings after finding a spot to start a colony. Discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures, especially in spring or summer, are signs of swarming termites. This can be an indication that you may need immediate termite treatment.
• Bubbling or Uneven Paint: Termite activity can damage drywall, leading to bubbling, blistering, or uneven paint. If there’s no apparent moisture source, these signs may indicate termites tunneling beneath the surface.
