Signs of Termites
- Translucent wings shed nearby. Wings can be a sign of a flying ant swarm, those wings could also be termite swarmer wings! When a colony of termites is mature, it will send out termite reproductives (alates) to start new termite colonies. If the swarmers have come and gone, you may see their shed wings in places like window sills, decks, patios, foundation walls, or even caught in a spider web.
- Swarms of termites. This is rare, they only appear once or twice a year for about 30 minutes but if you see these on the outside of your home, there has to be a mature colony close by. If you see these swarmers inside your home, this is a for sure sign that you have an active termite infestation.
- Mud Tubes. These shelter mud tubes are built by worker termites from the soil to the wood. This shelters them from harmful effects of the sun and air. Usually they are hidden in shady areas or even build up through concrete blocks.
- Noises inside the walls. If there is a spot in your home that is infested with termites, you might hear them making noises. The noises come from soldier termites banging their heads against the walls to signal danger. It sounds like a faint clicking noise. If the solder termite doesn’t perceive danger, there will be no noise present.
