Signs of Termites
Typically, you will not see termites unless they are swarming. During this time, flying termites emerge, looking for mates. Because of their size and shape, many people mistake these swarming termites for flying ants. However, if you see something like this or what looks like white ants (termites are light in color), you should contact our expert Kentucky termite control team right away, as you likely have termites.
The Problem with Termites Don’t let your home become an eastern subterranean termite meal. Unfortunately, homeowners become the victims of the termite control problems in Northern Kentucky. Termites aren’t just any other bug; they are easily overlooked. Homeowners tend to be more concerned with common pests they see inside their homes, like ants, cockroaches, and spiders. Subterranean termites are great at keeping themselves out of sight; termites can go undetected in a home for years. When termites are discovered in your home, the damage has been done.
Hidden Dangers with Termites It is estimated that termites contribute $2 – $5 billion of damages to unsuspecting homeowners in the US; these silent pests eat away the wood in your home non-stop – 24/7/365. Subterranean termites are designed to have an insatiable appetite for wood; these pests live in the soil and can access your home through an undetected crack as thin as a business card (1/32 inch).
Signs to look for with termites.
Termite Mud Tubes Eastern Subterranean Termites create their own highway by using mud & feces. Their mud tube is a connection highway between the soil and home.
Termite Swarmers Wings After termites swarm away from their colony, they will leave their discarded wings behind. They can be found around window seals and stuck in a spider’s web.
Drywall Chipping Away Termites will eat anything with cellulose; since drywall has paperboard, it’s a perfect quick meal for termites to feed on.
Hollowed Wood Blisters in wood flooring, baseboards, doorways, and windows can indicate that termites have been feeding inside your home.
The most common and the most destructive kind of termite is the subterranean termite. This is the termite that you are most likely to encounter in your home. They live in vast colonies, some of which can reach up to one million members. As their name implies, they build their colonies underground in the soil and typically gain access to your home through your home’s foundations.
