Warning Signs Of Termites

Recognizing the early warning signs of subterranean termites is absolutely crucial for implementing effective pest control measures. Homeowners should be vigilant in their inspections, keeping an eye out for telltale signs such as mud tubes, which these pests use as protective highways, discarded wings that they leave behind after swarming, and hollow-sounding wood that can indicate extensive tunneling inside.


By being proactive and identifying these indicators early on, you can take prompt action, which can ultimately save your property from extensive and costly damage. Timely intervention is key in preserving the integrity of your home and ensuring a pest-free environment.

  • What are mud tubes?

    Mud tubes are tunnels made by termites to travel between their colony and food sources. They are typically found on walls, foundations, or in crawl spaces.

  • What does damaged wood look like?

    Termites often leave wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Look for small holes or frass, which is termite droppings, as signs of damage.

  • Why are discarded wings a concern?

    After mating, swarmers shed their wings. Finding these wings near windows or doors can indicate a nearby infestation.

  • How can I prevent termites?
