Pest Control How to Check for Termites

Pests can cause serious damage to a home. If you suspect that there are pests such as termites doing damage on a property, there are a few telltale signs. First, see if you notice a small pile of discarded wings. When a swarmer leaves its colony, they drop their wings after finding a spot to colonize and mate. Because termites chew and eat the wood’s interior, check for wood that’s fragile or sounds hollow. In particular, maze-like tunnels on the surface of wood elements at the foundation of the property likely point to a termite infestation.
