It’s crucial to identify termite damage early and apply termite treatment before these pests cause extensive damage. There are a few telltale signs that you have a termite infestation on your property. The attached YouTube video explores three signs to look for to determine termite damage. Read on to learn more.

Tap on the wood and listen for a hollow sound. In addition, look for wood that appears darkened or blistered.

Another common sign is seeing swarmer termites. These are winged termites that come out to mate. If you notice strange winged insects in your home or property, it may be a sign that you have a termite infestation. In addition, look for piles of wings. After swarmer termites mate, they shed their wings.

Subterranean termites are the most common type of termite. These termites build tunnels to travel between their nest and their food source. If you see mud tubes near your property, there’s a likelihood of a termite infestation.

If you notice any common signs of termite infestation, it’s imperative to act quickly. Termites can cause serious damage to your property and belongings. Consider calling a professional animal control removal company for assistance and termite treatment.
