  2. Mud Tunnels or Tubes In their search for food, termites create mud tunnels or tubes to store and safeguard acquired food sources, including wood chips, firewood, and mud. These mud structures are often concealed beneath furniture, underground, or within the brickwork of your home.

  3. Stuck Windows or Doors As termites consume wood in their quest for cellulose, they inflict damage that results in the wood buckling or warping. This damage can lead to difficulties in opening and closing doors and windows.

  4. Swarmers Termite pest inspection swarmers are winged and have separated from their colony to seek mates and establish new colonies. This swarming activity occurs at specific times of the year, and a swarm may comprise hundreds or even thousands of flying termites. Observing a swarm of flying termites in or around your property is an indication that termites may have been present in the vicinity for several years.

  5. Wood Damage Damage to wood caused by termites may be situated beneath and behind surfaces such as walls and floors. Termites consume the internal structure of your walls, making them challenging to detect. These small pests hollow out wood studs within walls without emerging, resulting in a hollow sound when tapped.
