7 Signs of Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termite infestations can be particularly challenging to detect due to the discreet lifestyle of these pests. They live underground and can silently cause extensive damage to your property before any signs of their presence become obvious. That's why it's important to familiarize yourself with the warning signs of an infestation.
Here's a list of the warning signs of a subterranean termite infestation:
- Swarmers: The appearance of winged termites, known as “swarmers,” inside your home or the presence of their discarded wings near windowsills and doors is a strong indicator of an infestation.
- Mud tubes: Subterranean termites build mud tubes to provide moisture while they travel between their colony and food source. These pencil-sized tubes are often found near the foundation of homes.
- Damaged wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or that is visibly damaged with a honeycomb interior and contains mud is likely affected by termites.
- Damaged wood flooring: Subterranean termites can cause flooring to appear blistered or darkened, which many homeowners may mistakenly attribute to water damage.
- Loose tiles: The extra moisture termites introduce to a wooden floor can weaken adhesive and loosen your tiles.
- Pin-sized holes in drywall: Tiny holes in walls or drywall can be entry points for termites into the cellulose-rich material.
- Bubbling or peeling paint: Similar to water damage, bubbling or peeling paint can indicate moisture from termite tunnels beneath the surface.
Early detection and intervention can save you significant time, money, and stress in managing these destructive pests. Call Apex Pest and Lawn for fast and reliable termite control in Salt Lake City.
