Termites can silently damage your home for months—or even years—before you notice.
The key is to recognize the early warning signs.
Here are the most common ways to tell if you have termites in your home.
🪵 1. Hollow-Sounding Wood
Tap on wooden surfaces.
👉 If it sounds hollow, termites may have eaten the inside.
🟤 2. Termite Droppings (Frass)
Drywood termites leave small pellet-like droppings.
👉 Often found near windows, doors, or baseboards.
🧱 3. Mud Tubes Along Walls or Foundation
Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel.
👉 This is a strong sign of active infestation.
🪽 4. Flying Termites (Swarmers)
Seeing flying termites indoors is a major warning sign.
👉 It usually means there is a colony nearby.
🪽 5. Discarded Wings
After swarming, termites shed their wings.
👉 Found near windows, doors, and lights.
🚪 6. Doors or Windows That Stick
Termite damage can warp wood.
👉 Doors and windows may become difficult to open.
🔊 7. Clicking Sounds in Walls
In quiet conditions, you may hear faint clicking sounds.
👉 This is termites feeding inside the wood.
⚠️ Important Warning
Termites are often hidden.
👉 By the time you see visible damage, the problem may already be serious.
