Finding termite problems early means you can get Monmouth County termite control done right away. Prompt treatment helps lower your home’s risk of serious termite damage. Learn more about how you can identify signs of termite damage.
Structural Damage
The main problem with termites is their appetite for cellulose, which is found in wood. These pests will eat through various sources of wood in homes, and they do so on a frequent basis. In addition to damage inside walls, termites can also eat through wood furniture, cupboards, cabinets and other wood structures.
Signs of Termite Infestations
How do you know if termites have invaded your home? Subterranean termites leave signs of their damage, such as buckling wood, swelling in ceilings and floors and a moldy or mildewy smell. You might also see their mud tubes near the foundation of your home.
Drywood termites can be harder to find. The damage they cause might not show up until they have severely eaten through wood. These termites tend to infest wood furniture and other sources of wood around homes.
If you spot any signs of termite damage, you should have professional pest control technicians inspect your home right away. After an inspection, they can begin doing treatment to stop the damage and eliminate these pests and their colonies.
