Know The Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation
If your home has an active termite infestation, you will know about it—eventually. We say this because of how sneaky these pests are. They do not announce their presence like many other local pests. Instead, termites live deep inside the walls, floors, and ceilings of structures.
With this in mind, it is good to know all the signs of termites. Here are a few to look for around your property today:
- Tight-fitting windows and doors
- Squeaky floorboards
- Visible moisture damage
- Bubbling or peeling paint or wallpaper due to moisture damage
- A rustling sound inside your walls
- Termite swarmers (winged termites)
- Mud tubes crawling up the exterior of your home
To identify these destructive insects before they can cause considerable damage to your home and property, bring in our team for a detailed inspection. A termite inspection is the best way to spot a problem early.
The Extent Of Property Damage Termites Can Create
We will be completely honest with you; no kinds of termites can destroy your home in a week. It often takes several months before these pests can make a dent with the damage they do. It is because termites damage homes silently that they can cause such a big problem.
Long-term exposure to termites can result in severe moisture damage, hollowed-out wood, and other clear structural issues that will both threaten your home’s stability and make it look unsightly. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid these problems before they occur.
