The Initial Signs That Determine Termite Infestation
No one wants to have termites, but the sad fact is we are all at risk. Termites can infest any house; they do not choose places to infest. Some may believe a termite infestation is just irritating, but they can do more harm than you may know. They are an important part of our ecosystem, but in our homes they are destructive. If you do not discover them before they begin doing big harm, they can destroy your entire home.
It is rather unfortunate that homeowners aren’t even aware they have termites, not until a lot of harm has already happened. Knowing at least the early signs of termite attacks can help save your home before the problem starts or aggravates. Termites will do more damage to a chunk of wood in a small amount of time. Therefore, knowing what to look for can probably help you stop termites before they can cause too much damage.
Termite infestations normally are not detected that easily by the untrained eye. A little more time & a more trained eye is needed in order to discover these wood eating creatures. You can see them living and feeding off your walls, furniture, floors and other areas of the home that is made of wood. checking for mud holes & feces piles can help determine if you have termites.
Check areas where termites usually would go, to see if there are any signs of infestation at all. Check your garden and lawn area; dead leaves, tree stumps & in the soil for mud holes. Also look for entryways into your walls. See if your walls have cracks or spaces where they could go. Basement walls, moldings, window sills, and doorframes are also some places to check.
If any show signs of feeding activity, you should reach a professional pest control company or exterminator. You can even do it yourself if you have knowledge and equipment. The point is stopping the termite problem before it even begins.
