Full-Service Termite Control in Safety Harbor, Florida

How Do I Know If I Have Termites?

The signs of a termite infestation can vary from species to species. Some, like drywood termites, can live in homes for years without being detected. For others, there are a few indicators such as:

• Mud Tunnels – Termites create protective tunnels out of mud to travel between their nest and the areas they are feeding.
  
  
• Tapping Noises – As termite infestations grow, the noise of them can become audible and they may make a tapping noise when feeling threatened.
  
  
• Droppings – Also called frass, termite droppings resemble sawdust and are often found at the entrance points to nests and tunnels.
  
  
• Wings – Termites will shed their wings in the process of creating new colonies. You might find these wings, resembling fish scales, collected around your home.
  
  
• Wall Damage – This can include peeling paint, discoloration in drywall, and other holes and imperfections in the walls.
  
  
• Floor Damage – Termite infested floors may be squeakier than usual, and tile flooring could start to come up because of the increased moisture content.
  
  
• Wood Damage – Maze patterns in wood and furniture, as well as clearly damaged wood can be a sign of termites.

While all of these can signal the presence of termites, it is important to remember that many infestations must be present for months or even years before these signs are evident. Once you see a sign, you should act quickly to prevent any further unnecessary damage. In addition, professional annual inspections can help keep less obvious signs from going undetected for long periods of time.
