Termites
Termites are wood-destroying insects that can cause significant structural damage to homes and buildings. They work silently and can go undetected for years.
Appearance
Termites are small, soft-bodied insects that range in color from white to light brown. Workers are typically cream-colored, while reproductive termites (swarmers) are darker with wings.
Habitat
Termites live in colonies underground or within the wood they are infesting. They require moisture and are often found near foundation walls, support posts, and other wooden structures.
Signs of Infestation
- •Mud tubes on foundation walls or support beams
- •Hollow-sounding wood
- •Discarded wings from swarmers
- •Frass (termite droppings) that resembles sawdust
- •Damaged or bubbling paint
- •Sagging floors or ceilings
Prevention Tips
- •Eliminate wood-to-soil contact around your home
- •Keep firewood and lumber away from the foundation
- •Ensure proper drainage around the foundation
- •Reduce moisture in crawl spaces and basements
- •Schedule regular professional inspections
- •Remove tree stumps and roots near the structure
