Signs You May Have an Termite Infestation

Termites are often hidden, so the warning signs matter. Common signs include:

  • Mud tubes on foundations, walls, or crawl space supports

  • Wood that sounds hollow when tapped

  • Swarmers (winged termites) near windows or lights

  • Discarded wings on windowsills or floors

  • Bubbling paint or drywall that looks “water damaged”

Prevention Tips

  • Keep mulch and soil from touching siding or wood

  • Fix leaks and reduce moisture around the foundation

  • Keep gutters working and direct water away from the home

  • Store firewood away from the structure

  • Seal cracks around foundation and entry points

  • Schedule regular termite inspections

One Treatment Rarely Ends It

Why DIY Treatments Don’t Last

Store-bought termite products don’t reach the colony and don’t create long-term protection around the structure. Termites stay active underground and inside wood, so partial treatment allows them to continue causing damage.

Freqently Asked Questions

What are the first signs of termites in a house?

The most common early signs are mud tubes, swarmers near windows, discarded wings, and hollow-sounding wood. Many homes have termite damage before termites are ever seen.
Termites can cause serious damage over time because they feed continuously and stay hidden. The sooner you treat them, the more damage you prevent.
No. Termites stay active as long as they have wood and moisture. Without professional treatment, the colony continues growing and damaging the structure.
Termites don’t come inside for crumbs—they come for wood and moisture. Even clean homes can have termites due to soil contact, humidity, or hidden leaks.
Schedule regular inspections, control moisture around the foundation, and keep wood away from soil contact. Professional termite prevention provides long-term protection.
