Common Signs of Termite Infestation

Common Signs of Termite Infestation

Termites are a serious concern for homeowners, particularly in North and Central Florida. These pests can cause significant damage to the structure of your home if left unchecked. Knowing the signs of a termite infestation is crucial for early detection and prevention.

Wood Damage and Hollow Sounds


One of the most noticeable signs of a termite infestation is damage to wooden structures. Termites consume wood from the inside out, often leaving behind hollow-sounding wood. If you tap on a wooden beam or structure and hear a hollow sound, it could indicate termite activity.


Discarded Wings and Mud Tubes


Termites leave behind evidence of their presence, such as discarded wings near windows or doors. These are a sign that termites have swarmed and may be settling into your home. Additionally, termites build mud tubes to travel between their colonies and food sources. These small, pencil-sized tubes are often found on the foundation of your home and are a clear indication of an active infestation.


Buckling Floors and Tight-Fitting Doors


Termite activity can also cause structural changes in your home. As termites consume wood, floors may begin to buckle or warp, and doors may become difficult to open or close due to shifting in the structure. These signs should prompt immediate action to prevent further damage.
