Termite Damage Happens Fast
Termites are small, barely noticeable insects that feed on dead plant material and cellulose. This includes dead leaves, animal waste, garden mulch, and more problematic, wood. Because they thrive in warm, moist locations, they’re especially prevalent during the spring through the fall, where they take up residence within walls and in basements and attics, feasting on wooden beams, trim, subflooring, and other sources of wood. With colonies ranging in size from a few hundred to millions, after reaching a viable food source, a colony can cause extensive damage to a Raleigh home in just a few months.
When termites are caught early, removing the source of the infestation and setting up preventive termite control can save thousands of dollars in structural repairs.
Signs You May Have a Termite Problem
- You see “swarmers” or discarded wings- Also known as reproductives, swarmers are young termites with wings. They seek out new locations like your home for new termite colonies.
- You see mud tubes around the foundation of your home- mud tubes are created by subterranean termites. Subterranean termites are notorious for causing significant damage wherever they colonize.
- Look for wood damage around your foundation and structures. If you see blistering pieces of wood, or even wood that sounds hollow when you knock on it, you may have a termite infestation.
- You have paint that looks like it’s bubbling up. This could be a sign of a termite issue or even water damage. Neither should be ignored.
- Termite Poop- Termites leave behind what looks like pellets as waste. If you see a small pile of pellets near your wooden structures, it could mean there is a colony feasting on your foundation.
