Signs of Termite Infestation and How to Prevent It
Spot hollow wood, mud tubes, discarded wings, or blistered paint early. Fix leaks, reduce dampness, keep timber away from walls, and arrange a professional termite inspection whenever warning signs appear.
Termites can stay hidden for a long time, so check wooden furniture, door frames and skirting boards for soft or hollow-sounding areas. Mud tubes along walls and discarded wings near windows or doors can also be signs worth investigating.
To make your home less inviting, fix leaks, keep damp areas ventilated and avoid storing firewood or cardboard directly against walls. If you notice signs of activity, arrange a professional inspection before disturbing the affected area; the right treatment depends on where the termites are entering and nesting.
