Termites can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damages to your home.
It’s critical to spot signs of them and move quickly if you notice any of the following:
- Dead winged insects around your house. These may be the remains of flying termites. You may even find insect wings because flying termites lose their wings when they mate.
- Clicking noises in your walls. A colony of termites make sounds by hitting their heads against the wood in your walls.
- Appearance of mud tubes. Termites build mud tubes to protect themselves as they travel back and forth from a specific location. If you see mud tubes on the exterior of your home, it’s time to look for termites.
- Something that looks suspiciously like sawdust. This is called frass or otherwise known as termite droppings. A gross reminder that termites are probably nearby.
- Doors and windows that are suddenly difficult to open. Termites target doors and windows as they are rich wood sources for them. When they eat the structure, it can cause warping and make it tough to open and close the door or window.
