How You Can Tell If Your Home Has Termites
Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare, often causing extensive damage before their presence is even detected. These wood-eating insects can destroy the structural integrity of a home by burrowing into walls, floors, and furniture. Catching a termite infestation early is crucial to minimizing the harm they cause, and knowing the signs can help you act before the damage becomes severe.
Here are some common signs of a termite infestation:
- Discarded wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings, leaving piles near windows, doors, or other entry points.
- Mud tubes: Subterranean termites build small, pencil-sized mud tunnels along walls and foundations to protect themselves as they move between their nest and food sources.
- Wood damage: Hollow-sounding wood or blistering paint can indicate termites are feeding inside walls or furniture.
- Droppings: Also called frass, termite droppings are tiny pellets that often resemble sawdust or coffee grounds.
- Swarmers: Winged termites, often mistaken for flying ants, emerge from colonies to establish new nests, signaling an active infestation nearby.
- Tapping sounds: Some termites create a clicking or tapping noise within walls, especially when disturbed.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs around your home, a professional termite inspection can help you understand the nature and extent of a possible infestation. Our free inspection at Kilter Termite and Pest Control can provide you with all the information you need to learn more about how termites affect your home and what you can do to stop them.

To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
-
Termites move randomly through the soil searching for a source of food (wood). They do not have the ability to know exactly where your house is. So, if your next-door neighbor treats his home for termites, your house isn’t automatically the termites’ next lunch. No, your house does not need to be treated; but, if there are active termite infestations in your neighborhood, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
-
The best thing you can do is to be involved and observant in the inspection process. For example if you request an inspection and the inspector doesn’t inspect obvious areas such as your garage, attic, basement, etc., then you may need to consult an additional company. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
