Termite Swarmers vs Carpenter Ant Swarmers

About 25% of homeowners in the Australia are concerned about termites, and 13% reported having them in the past year. It is not hard to see why, as termites can cause devastating damage to wood.

That’s why it’s so important to remain vigilant and catch the signs early. When you notice termites early, you can fix the problem before it becomes an expensive disaster. In this post, you’ll find out how to know if you have termites.

Identifying Termites in Your Home

How can you tell you have these pests on your home when they are underground?

Here are some key signs to look out for:

Mud Tunnels

In your house, you may detect mud tunnels or tubes, a signal that termites are in your home. They are the tell-tale signs that termites are living and burrowing within your walls or floors.

Piles of Sand or Wood Shavings

You might also see tiny, pellet like piles that resemble sand or wood shavings. This is termite frass or waste. It’s another indication of termite activity.

Months of Activity

Termites spend most of their time hidden in the home. But in the spring and summer, they teem. It’s when they emerge to begin new colonies, and it’s when most people first notice them.

Know How to Identify Termites

Termites are a natural enemy of homeowners, and knowing how to recognize termites is important, as it could help you catch things before they become a bigger issue. If you see any of the warning signs, call a termite exterminator immediately. Even if you do not believe you have a termite problem, it’s best to be safe than sorry.
