At AAction Pest Control, we understand that spotting a termite infestation in its early stages can be challenging. Subtle signs might go unnoticed, but they are crucial to preventing significant structural damage to your home. Here’s a list to help you detect a potential termite problem:<\/p>\n

Termites build pencil-thick tunnels, also known as mud tubes, for safe transportation from their underground colonies to your home. These tubes are usually found around the home’s foundation.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Frass or Termite Droppings” image=”https:\/\/aactionpc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Frass-or-Termite-Droppings-1106x550px.jpg” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Montserrat|900|||||||” header_font_size=”26px” body_font_size=”22px” border_radii_image=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-4299baef-f9db-4c5f-87de-4e3740f177ba%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n
As termites consume wood, they create wood-colored or darker droppings known as frass. If you notice small piles of what looks like coarse sawdust, it could be a sign of termites.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Discarded Wings” image=”https:\/\/aactionpc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Discarded-Termite-Wings-1106x550px.jpg” icon_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Montserrat|900|||||||” header_font_size=”26px” body_font_size=”22px” border_radii_image=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-4299baef-f9db-4c5f-87de-4e3740f177ba%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n
Swarmers, or reproductive termites, leave behind their wings after finding a mate. These wings are usually identical in size and found close to windows, doors, or other home-access points.<\/p>\n

Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer of wood or paint. If you tap on a piece of wood and it sounds hollow, or if your screwdriver easily penetrates the surface, you might have a termite problem.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Blisters in Wood Flooring” image=”https:\/\/aactionpc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Blisters-in-Wood-Flooring-1106x550px.jpg” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Montserrat|900|||||||” header_font_size=”26px” body_font_size=”22px” border_radii_image=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-4299baef-f9db-4c5f-87de-4e3740f177ba%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n
Termites feeding within or below can cause your wood floors to appear blistered or bubbled. This damage often resembles water damage and can be easily mistaken.<\/p>\n

Termites can create cracks and distortions in your home’s exterior walls or plaster. Any inexplicable cracks should be investigated for a possible termite issue.<\/p>\n
