Building and Pest Inspection Nowra

One thing that should surprise every householder is the presence of termites in their area. Termites can invade your house and cause irreparable damage to the foundation of your house, the walls, and even the image of your house. Unfortunately, termites are usually not detected until they have caused real damage.

Observing signs of termites in your home can help you avoid serious damage by detecting pests early. Once you have done this, you can take the necessary steps to remove the termites. In this article, we will look at 7 signs that can tell you if you have termites in your home.

• Termite tubes

Normally, underground ants form tubes of mud ants throughout the area for protection against the environment and predators. Mud tubes are among the most obvious signs of the presence of termites. The mud tubes allow them to pass between their food source and the colony. So, if you see mud or mounds in your home, you should know that there must be termites in your home.

• Damaged Wood

Damaged wood is another sign of the presence of termites in your home. Ants eat wood inside, leaving a unique pattern on the wood surface. When it eats wood, it becomes useless and weak. This causes serious structural damage to your home.

It is difficult to see the damaged wood since the insects began eating the wood inside and out. However, you may see movement or rowing wood, or you may find it difficult to open windows and doors. In some cases, damaged wood may bind or crack under pressure.

• Hard to Open Doors and Tight Fighting Doors

Another sign that you may have termites in your home is twisted doors and sturdy windows. Ants produce moisture when they eat a wooden door and window frames, causing the frames to rotate. This makes it difficult to open windows and doors. This sign alone does not necessarily mean that you have termites, but if it is accompanied by other termite mice, it may indicate an attack.

• Discarded Swarmer Wings

Swarming of the swarmer wings is one of the most common symptoms of rust. Swarmers refer to the old winged ant, which serves as the future queens and kings of the colony. Poor termites will shed their wings before finding a new breeding ground. Therefore, when you see discarded wings inside your home, there may be termites active in your home. However, it is important to pay attention to the length of the wing, body type, and horns as you may make the mistake of flying ants.

Termites can cause serious structural damage to your home if not detected in time. However, with the symptoms we discussed above, you may be able to detect an attack before it gets worse. You should check your home regularly for these symptoms. The busier you are, the better!
