How to Identify a Termite Infestation
Three key indicators of a termite infestation include (but are not limited to):
Blisters in wood flooring
Areas of blisters in wood flooring can indicate termites that are feeding within or below. Termites can also cause damage to your subflooring and make it appear as though it has water damage.
Damaged wood
If you notice signs of wood damage below or behind surfaces like floors, walls, etc., this can be a sign of a termite infestation. Termites chew through wood in search of cellulose and leave behind long grooves, which, over time, weaken the wood and create structural damage.
Evidence of termite swarms
Another telltale sign of termites is discarded termite wings that are found in the home, especially near closed windows, doors, and other home access points.
