How Can You Know About The Presence of Termites?

Being aware about the signs and symptoms of a termite infestation can help you identify potential problems. If this issue is known in time, then a licensed expert can help prevent a small issue from becoming a larger problem.

Few Signs Which Suggests Their Existence:-


There are four major signs or symptoms:


Droppings - They range in colour from creamy beigish to black. It must be noted that these small beads are not eggs or termites themselves. These droppings are typically stored within the wood that insects are infesting. It’s presence out in the open indicates large infestation that would grow further.


Wood Damage - When watching for signs of damage caused by dry-wood or subterranean insects, you may check out for aberrations such as evidence of insect tunneling in the wood.  These may look smooth and sanded down.

Termite Wings – As a swarmer finds a new piece of wood to infest, it will shed its wings. Also, eat itself into its new home. Thus, spreading slowly.

However, you must keep in mind that any of these indicators cannot determine the severity of the problem. Also, cannot ascertain which termite control program works best for you. 

You should have your property inspected by professionals, so they can fix the problem if the infestation is still live and active in your home. Successful local termite control often requires specific knowledge of termite behavior and treatment techniques. 

There are several different insecticides currently used by Termite Control Companies in Penrith. Most of them are safe and effective, when used according to label directions.
