FLYING TERMITES
To begin, the first sign of a termite infestation is usually the most obvious – the presence of flying termites, Swarmers! They leave the nest and fly around to find a mate and establish a new colony, which could be near or inside of your home!
Termites enjoy swarming after rain showers at certain times of the year, like Spring; this is the ultimate Termite Swarm Season!
Another common sign of termites is discarded wings. Flying termites lose their wings shortly after finding a mate.
TERMITE DROPPINGS
A key sign of termites are droppings. Subterranean Termites use their feces to build tunnels.
Drywood Termites instead, push their feces out of small holes in their nests near the entrances, resulting in black marks and a dark powdery substance around the area infested.
WHITE ANTS
Next, people mistaking termites for “white ants” are a common misconception, and an easy one to make!
Termites are light in color – usually a white or light brown color and can sometimes look translucent. Termite’s antennae are also completely straight, rather than bent like the ant.
If you think you have spotted an insect which looks like a white ant in and around your house, you might have a termite problem on your hands and need to contact our experts right away! (850) 492-9225
CLICKING
Next on the list is clicking sounds coming from your walls! Soldier termites bang their heads against the wood or shake their bodies when their colony is disturbed, to signal danger to the other termites.
Worker termites, which are the ones who eat away at your wood, are also noisy! If you put your ear close to any infested wood by termites you might hear them munching away! If you do, Contact a Termite Professional immediately!
HOLLOW WOOD
Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a thin piece or sometimes even just the paint! If you knock or tap on an area that has termite damage it will usually sound hollow.
This is because your wood has been eaten away by termites!
WARPING
Finally, stiff windows and warped doors can also mean termites! Termites produce tons of moisture when eating and tunneling through wooden frames causing warping, making it harder to open doors and windows.
The best way to know for sure you are protected is with Pensacola Termite Treatment!
