Termites inside your Home

Posted by TermiteSpecialist on January 3rd, 2020

Termites can damage or completely destroy the wooden door frames, wooden cabinets, wood decking & parquet flooring of the house over a few years. Getting rid of termites is a matter of security for your house. The treatment from termite specialist is a necessary measure.

By the time the house owner detects the existence of termites, the termites will completely destroy most of the wooden structures and treatment with termite specialist will be futile. Therefore, it is very important to discover the existence of the insects as soon as possible in order to quickly get rid of the termites.

What should you look out for signs of termites in your home?

Check for the signs of infestation of subterranean termites or dry wood termites termites: Even if you haven't noticed any insect symptoms the first time, it doesn't mean they're not there. Their presence may have subtle signs: sloping walls, small holes in wooden components. These signs should cause you to think directly about getting rid of termites.

Inspect the basement: Take a screwdriver and a flashlight and test the quality of the wooden supports and beams. Knock on the wood. If it sounds hollow and some dust (which is presumably termite dust) streams out of it, it means that it is already hollowed out by termite tunnels. Another telltale sign is that with a screwdriver, you can easily pierce the wood. It is the right signal to get rid of termites as a matter of urgency.

Feces traces: House termites feces look slightly darker than wood as tiny granules. Under wooden items you will find them.

Find the termite’s nest: A branching tunnel system will lead to the nest found in the ground or inside wooden structures.

Determine the type of termites: Dry wood or subterranean. Subterranean termites live underground, heaps of straw, wood and manure within, while termites of dry wood live exclusively in wood. Treatment with subterranean and dry wood termites is done in different ways, so it is important to determine exactly what type has infested your home.
