Termites are often called ‘silent destroyers’ because they can cause extensive damage to a home without any immediate obvious signs. By the time damage is evident, the infestation might be long-standing and severe. However, there are several key indicators that suggest you might have a termite problem and require immediate professional intervention. Recognizing these signs early can save you thousands in repairs.
Perhaps the most common and definitive sign of subterranean termites are mud tubes, or ‘shelter tubes.’ These pencil-width tunnels are constructed by termites from soil, wood particles, and their saliva. They build these tubes to protect themselves from predators and dry environments as they travel between their underground colony and their food source (your home’s wooden structures). You’ll often find them on your home’s foundation, on support beams in crawl spaces, or extending from the ground up to wooden components. Finding even a small mud tube indicates active termite foraging and a potential infestation.
During the spring, reproductive termites (alates or ‘swarmers’) emerge from mature colonies to establish new ones. After they find a mate, they shed their wings, which are often found near windowsills, doorways, or spiderwebs. These discarded wings, which resemble tiny fish scales or cellophane, are a clear sign that a termite colony has reached maturity and is actively looking to expand, often originating from within or very close to your property. If you see these, it’s a strong indicator of an active or recent swarm, signaling the need for immediate inspection.
Termite damage often looks different from water damage or other wood-destroying pests. Subterranean termites eat wood from the inside out, often leaving a thin veneer of wood or paint on the surface. When tapped, damaged wood may sound hollow. You might also notice discolored or blistering wood surfaces, which could be an indication of tunneling activity beneath. Drywood termites tunnel within the wood itself, creating galleries that follow the grain. Look for channels or grooves within the wood. The presence of wood damage, regardless of how minor it appears, warrants a professional assessment.
Specifically, drywood termites leave behind tell-tale fecal pellets called ‘frass.’ These tiny, granular droppings are often the color of the wood they’re consuming and are pushed out of kick-out holes from their tunnels. You might find small piles of frass resembling sawdust or coffee grounds near infested wooden items like doorframes, furniture, or baseboards. The presence of frass is a definitive sign of a drywood termite infestation and requires specialized treatment.
Soldier termites, responsible for defending the colony, can sometimes be heard making quiet clicking sounds. This sound is made by banging their heads against the wood or shaking their bodies. While faint and often difficult to discern without a quiet environment, if you suspect termite activity, listening closely can sometimes confirm their presence. This is a very subtle sign but can be an early indicator if you are attuned to your home’s sounds.
As termites tunnel through and consume wooden door and window frames, the wood can warp and swell, making it difficult to open or close doors and windows. This is often mistaken for humidity damage, but combined with other signs, it could point to a termite infestation compromising the structural integrity of these wooden components. Termite activity, especially in high-moisture areas, can significantly impact wood’s dimensions.
In severe cases of termite infestation, especially with subterranean termites, the structural integrity of your home can be compromised. If you notice floors starting to sag, ceilings drooping, or walls becoming noticeably uneven, it could be due to extensive termite damage to support beams and joists. This indicates a very advanced and serious problem that requires immediate and extensive professional intervention to prevent further structural failure.
The most obvious sign of an active termite infestation is a visible swarm of winged termites around your home. Swarming usually occurs during warm, humid weather or after rain, as colonies send out reproductive members to establish new nests. Seeing these winged insects, particularly if they are indoors or emerging from foundational cracks, indicates a significant and active termite colony nearby, quite possibly within your home. These are often mistaken for flying ants, but termites have straight antennae, a uniform waist, and wings of equal length, unlike ants which have elbowed antennae, pinched waists, and unequal wing sizes.
Similar to bubbling paint, blisters in your wood flooring can be a sign of termites tunneling just beneath the surface. This creates a raised, almost bubble-like appearance on the wood. This is a clear indicator that subterranean termites are excavating tunnels and consuming the wood beneath the floor, weakening its structure and creating areas of instability. This symptom often occurs in conjunction with other subtle signs of infestation.
If you observe any of these signs, it is crucial to contact Mandeville Termite immediately for a professional inspection. Early detection and intervention are key to minimizing damage and saving your property from long-term, costly repairs.
At Mandeville Termite, our comprehensive termite control services are specifically designed to address and resolve these common termite problems effectively, providing lasting protection and peace of mind. We don’t just eliminate the active infestation; we implement strategies to prevent future re-infestations.
When mud tubes are present, they are a clear indication of active subterranean termite foraging. Our advanced liquid termiticide barrier treatments are highly effective in eradicating these active colonies. We apply a non-repellent termiticide to the soil around and beneath your foundation. Termites cannot detect this product, so they unwittingly come into contact with it as they travel to and from their food source. The termiticide is also transferred throughout the colony through grooming and feeding, leading to a domino effect that eliminates the entire colony, including the queen. This strategy directly targets the termites using the mud tubes, breaking their connection to the structure and leading to colony collapse.
The presence of discarded wings signals a mature colony that has produced swarmers, posing a risk for new satellite colonies to establish themselves either within your property or nearby. By implementing our comprehensive treatment plans, whether it’s a liquid barrier or a baiting system, we target the main colony producing these swarmers. Eliminating the primary colony prevents future swarms from emerging from your property’s existing infestation. For colonies attempting to establish themselves from external swarms, our protective barriers or bait stations act as a preventative measure, intercepting and eliminating new threats before they can cause significant damage to your home.
While our service focuses on termite eradication, our thorough inspections identify all areas of damaged wood. While we don’t perform structural repairs ourselves, we can recommend trusted local contractors for any necessary repairs after the termites have been eliminated. More importantly, our treatments stop further damage from occurring. For localized damage due to drywood termites, direct wood treatments can be applied. For subterranean species, by eliminating the source, we prevent further consumption of your home’s structural elements. Our long-term protection plans, including annual inspections and warranties, ensure that any new activity is detected early, preventing extensive damage that leads to hollow-sounding wood or compromised structural integrity.
If frass is found, it confirms a drywood termite infestation, which requires a different approach than subterranean termites. For localized drywood termite problems, we can employ localized treatments such as wood injection (drilling small holes and injecting termiticide directly into galleries), or specialized spot treatments. In cases of widespread drywood termite infestation within a structure, fumigation might be recommended. This highly effective method involves tenting the entire structure and introducing a gas that penetrates all wood, eliminating all termites within the property. This directly addresses the source of frass and eradicates the drywood colony.
The clicking sounds made by soldier termites indicate an active and growing colony within your walls or wooden structures. Our treatments, whether through the slow-acting transfer effect of non-repellent liquid termiticides or the colony elimination offered by baiting systems, disrupt the entire termite colony. As worker termites come into contact with the treatment or consume bait, the colony’s vitality declines. This disruption leads to a cessation of feeding and activity, ultimately silencing and eradicating the termites responsible for these tell-tale noises. The quiet returns to your home as the infestation is brought under control.
When termites cause doors and windows to stick or warp, it’s a sign that they are actively damaging the wooden frames. By eliminating the termite colony, we halt the damage and prevent further deterioration of these wooden components. While our service doesn’t physically revert the warped wood, by stopping the root cause – the termites – it allows for the possibility of the wood stabilizing or, if necessary, for repairs or replacement of compromised frames without the fear of immediate re-infestation. Our focus is on stopping the attack that causes the warping and weakening.
Sagging floors and ceilings are grave indicators of severe structural damage due to extensive termite activity. Our primary mission is to eliminate the termites causing this damage. By deploying our most robust treatment strategies, we focus on complete colony eradication to prevent any further structural degradation. While we do not perform structural repairs, our immediate and effective intervention ensures that the destruction stops. After the termites are gone, homeowners can proceed with necessary structural repairs with the confidence that the root cause of the problem has been addressed by professionals, making their home safe and sound once more.
Seeing live swarms indicates a large, mature, and likely well-established termite colony either in or very near your home. Our response is immediate and comprehensive. We conduct a thorough inspection to locate the colony’s origin and extent. Following this, we implement a targeted treatment plan using powerful termiticides or bait systems to effectively eliminate the entire colony, including the reproductive queen. This not only stops the current swarm but prevents future swarms from emerging from your property, breaking the reproductive cycle and safeguarding your home from further colonization. Our aim is to stop the reproductive cycle and protect your investment.
Blisters in wood flooring are a visual cue that subterranean termites are tunneling just beneath the surface. Our liquid barrier treatments are particularly effective here. By creating a continuous treated zone around and underneath your home, we intercept termites traveling between their tunnels beneath the floor and their underground colony. This systematic approach ensures that all active termites in these critical areas come into contact with the termiticide, leading to their demise and halting the destructive tunneling activities that cause these surface blisters. Our goal is to protect your flooring and structural integrity.
