Termites/White Ants

Termites/ white ants are one of the most common and may we add, damaging pests you can find out there. They may be little in size just like most insects but never underestimate them. Their ability to destroy woods and cause damage to a property truly make up for their size. A place inside the woods in the house, some adequate time, and unaware owners are all it will take for termites to make damages.

Termite damages if summed up together can cause not just thousands but millions to billions of dollars. Don’t be one of the property owners who will spend a lot of money on repairing something that could have been prevented and treated immediately in the first place.

The three main types of termites are subterranean, dampwood, and drywood. Subterranean termites live in underground or soil. Dampwood termites live and infest woods that are damp while drywood termites can be found typically in dry woods.

Termites are not in a property just to find a shelter. Like other pests, they do more than just living in a property and annoy people. Where termites are present damage is also present.

Termite Infestations

Is there a termite infestation in your property? Termites are social creatures. A termite does not live in solitude but in colonies. So, when you find one you can expect that there are more. They live and work together hand in hand to sustain the colony with each member having a role to do. How can you tell if there are termites living inside your house or building?


​
Some signs of termites in property:
​

•  Discarded wings
If you see discarded wings in your house you should not neglect it because that is an indication that swarmer might have chosen somewhere inside your house or building to be their location.


•  Mud tubes
Like discarded wings, mud tubes inside a property is also a telltale sign of termite. Subterranean termites create tubes for protection and moisture that they want. It also serves as a comfortable tunnel from their nest to the food source. Tiny pieces of woods and soil are what mud tubes consist of.


•  Clicking sound behind the wall
Although termites are called silent destroyers, they are not particularly silent when they eat or when the soldier termites bang their heads against the wood when they sense danger. So, do not neglect the possibility of termites when you hear unusual banging sounds behind the walls.
​

•  Bubbling paint
Subterranean termites like moisture, when the paint in your property is peeling or bubbling check it as termites could be the one causing it.
 

•  Wood damage
Another obvious sign of termite infestation is damaged woods. Termites feed on woods, therefore, a house infested with termites would always have damaged woods. Termites feed from inside to outside hence a complete and fine-looking woods may not always guarantee that the wood is good and undamaged. Check the sound your wood makes by tapping it, the shallow sound indicates that the wood is damaged inside.
