Have Termites Invaded Your Home?
Termites are insects that consume wood and cause a great deal of damage to homes. When termites are present in a home, a homeowner may not become aware of them until the damage has already been done. Knowing the signs of termites helps homeowners to seek help from the professionals for termite control. With the following information, individuals will know what to expect if they have a termite problem.
Because termites typically live in walls and flooring, they are not always visible to homeowners, but there are some signs that can be looked for. If any of the following signs are occurring in a home, it is essential the owners seek prompt treatment so their home is not severely damaged. Here are some of the signs a homeowner might notice.
Damaged wood flooring or walls can be caused by termites. If a section of wood seems hollow or weak, this could be caused by a termite infestation.
Homeowners can sometimes hear the munching sounds that are made by the termites as they feed on the wood. These sounds are especially heard when there is a large colony present.
A homeowner might notice shed termite wings lying in piles on the home's windowsills. These wings are shed during the spring and are left in piles.
A home that has a termite problem may find sawdust-like waste products lying around in piles along their baseboards. As a termite eats wood, it is excreted in the form of what looks like sawdust.
In the spring months, termites begin to swarm around and are often seen flying around the lights outside of a home. While this may not mean the termites have infiltrated the home, it is wise for a homeowner to have a termite inspection carried out by the pest control specialist.
