Three Signs that You Need Termite Removal

  1. Droppings- One sign that you need termite removal is the presence of termite droppings, also known as frass. These will look like small piles of sawdust at first glance, but will reveal themselves to be tiny hexagons upon closer inspection.
  2. Shed Wings- Another indication that you have a termite infestation on your hands is the presence of shed termite wings. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot this sign before you see any frass, which means that the termites have just made it into your home and haven’t had time to really start chewing up your wood yet.
  3. Hollow Walls or Floors- A third sign that you need termite removal can be found in the condition of your walls or floors. While termite damage isn’t usually visible until it’s quite severe, you can detect it early by knocking on walls or paying attention to how a wood floor feels under your feet–if the wall sounds hollower than it should or the floor feels thinner or more fragile, you most likely have a termite problem.
