Have you ever heard of the dreaded consequences of a termite invasion? Maybe you have noticed some strange noises in the wood. You are probably being invaded by termites and have not noticed it yet. In this case, immediately call an expert team at termite removal, We will do the work for you.
A termite colony can cause widespread structural damage. Pests feed on internal structures, including beams and wall posts. Where termites are not detected promptly, these insects end up making your home an unsafe and uninhabitable place.
Signs of Termites at home
If your home has wooden structures, it is important to do regular inspections to rule out any risks associated with a termite attack. Not detecting the attack of a termite plague in time can jeopardize your property and ultimately your family’s health.
It is possible to detect the presence of termites if you are attentive to some details:
- Wall noises: If you keep quiet you may hear the termites “working” inside the wood.
- Flying termites: Usually the first sign of a termite infestation is the presence of flying termites.
- Presence of white ant-like insects: A common mistake people make is to confuse termites with white ants. This is an easy mistake to make as both ants and termites are very similar in shape, and size.
- Sounds to hollow wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a thin layer of wood or simply surface paint.
- Stuck doors and hard-to-open windows: The moisture associated with their presence and the tunnels they create inside the door and window frames deform the wood, so windows and doors become difficult to open.
- External cords: Termites run away from light. Their skin does not protect them enough from light radiation. When they need to leave to find a new wooden vein, they build with their saliva, mud, and droppings laces attached to the wall that allows them to stay protected from light. Even sometimes they build authentic stalactites and stalagmites. If you see any of these laces, it is clear you have termites.
- Tunnels in wood: Tunnels, also known as ‘galleries’, are obviously very difficult to see from the outside, but if you see them in a piece of wood broken like a beam or, as we said before, on a baseboard, it is clear evidence that termites have invaded your house.
Any of these signs indicate that you should act on this matter as soon as possible. Maybe you may want to eliminate pests with your own hands, but it is best to leave work in the hands of professionals.
