Termites can be a serious threat to your beloved home. If you have the slightest suspicion that your house has been attacked by this worrying bunch of arthropods make sure you contact a professional pest inspection company to conduct an inspection. Here are four signs that will give you an idea whether your house is infested by termites:
• Termites harbor in dark and humid surroundings. Therefore you will not find them on the surface of the wood where they would be visible to the human eyes. Even if your wood surface appears smooth, tap on the wood and if it sounds hollow means termites are inflicting damage.
• If you see a swarm of insects or groups of discarded wings, you have to be careful because this is another sign that your house has been attacked by termites. This is because these winged insects are known to take flights to create new colonies within your house.
• Termites are capable of entering through openings that are too small to be spotted. If you find cracks and crevices on the roofs, sidings, doors or windows, make sure you get the sealed before termites start breeding.
• Mud tubes are another sign of the possible existence of termites in the house. Check your home’s foundation for any such sign as these pests use the mud tubes to provide moisture.
