Termites are one of the nuisance types of pests found in Australian homes. They can easily damage the whole structure of your house very quickly. Because of their behavior, it is very difficult to control them. A professional pest control Brisbane knows the best way to remove them.
Termites work silently. They love to eat wood from the inside. This is the reason their detection is quite difficult until they cause serious structural damage. The cost of termite damage repair is a lot. This means early intervention of termites saves you a lot of money in the long run. A professional pest control company can easily help you with this. But do you know when to hire them? If not, then here are some signs with which you can be sure about the termite’s infestation in your home.
In this guide, you will get to know why you need a professional pest control company and what are the signs of termite infestation in your home.
Visible Termite Swarms or Discarded Wings
Termite swarms occur only when reproductive termites leave their settled colony to find mates and start a new colony. This is a sign that a mature colony is nearby anywhere and already infesting your property. After swarming, the termites shed their wings. Finding discarded wings near doors and windows strongly suggests that the termites have successfully found a new place to start new colonies nearby. These signs do not guarantee that you have termites at your home, but yes, this is a sign of concern. If swarming and discarded wings are increasing day by day, then don’t take any risks, consult the professionals before they ruin the whole structure of your house.
Mud Tubes and Mud tunnels
Termites live underground. With the help of mud tubes, the termites travel between their underground nest and their home, where they find food (wood). With the help of mud tubes and tunnels, they explore new areas of food. These tunnels and tubes are the bug sign that you have a termite infestation in your home. This is the most common sign of termite infestation. Check the areas of your home. If you find such tubes on your property, then this is surely a red flag.
Hollow-sounding or Damaged Wooden Structure
Termites eat wood from the inside out and create hollow structures and tunnels. When any interior of a wooden thing is eaten away, this creates a hollow sound. On tapping and knocking it creates a hollow sound. The termites leave very thin layers outside. This is the reason they create hollow sounds from the outside.
Tight-fitting Doors or Windows
Termites thrive in moist environments. They feed on the cellulose in the wood. They eat and tunnel through doors and window frames, and the wood of the door expands and wraps due to the extra moisture they introduce. This warping causes the doors and windows to become tight-fitting. This makes them difficult to open and close.
Visible Termite Droppings
Termite droppings are a one of the strong sign that you have a termite infestation in your home. The droppings of the termites indicate that termites are active on your property. You will find some droppings near the wooden structure as well, especially where they are feeding. Pest control Brisbane will help you in this.
Bubbling Paint
The bubbling paint of your property indicates that termites are present underneath. Bubbling paint can sometimes be the reason for moisture content, but not always. It is advised to contact the professionals if you see this.
Uneven Floor
An uneven floor is a sign that termites are present in your flooring. If you have uneven and sagging floors, this means termites are working underneath your home. So inspection of this area is very important to eliminate them completely
Increased pest activity
Are you seeing other pest activity in your home? If yes, then this is also a sign that you may have termite issues at your home. The presence of termites at your home can attract other pests as well.
White Ants
There are no white ants. Most people are confused between ants and termites. The termites look similar to ants when they lose their wings. Termites are light in color and their antennas are straight, whereas ants are of a light brown color and their antennas are bent. So don’t get confused if you find light-colored small ant-type creatures. These are termites for sure.
Unusual sounds from the walls
If you sit in complete silence, and you hear unusual sounds coming from the walls, this could be a sign of worker termites. The termites use head-banging sounds to communicate and warn each other of danger. They create so much noise as well while eating. You can easily hear them if you put your ear to the wall.
If you notice any of the above signs in your home, then you should contact a professional pest control company for Termite treatment. The professionals know the best way to eliminate them completely.
