Termites<\/a> are social insects that communicate with each other like other social insects species do.\u00a0 Termite infestations<\/a> must be taken seriously and addressed quickly as termite colonies are able to consume up to fifteen pounds of wood each week according to Monmouth County, NJ pest control<\/a> professionals.<\/p>\n

A friend called from out of state and asked if termites made sounds if they were in a structure.\u00a0 Apparently, his dog began starring at a wall in the family room and eventually began to bark insanely at the wall.\u00a0 My friend took the pooch to the vet thinking Spike was going bonkers.\u00a0 The vet gave a clean bill of health.\u00a0 Within the next month, the wall starring and barking continued off and on.\u00a0 The real trouble began when Spike began to dig at the living room floor.\u00a0 Not hearing anything himself, my friend decided to pull back the carpeting.\u00a0 He was shocked to see a basketball sized hole that was swarming with termites!<\/p>\n

Sometimes subterranean worker termites enter through the crack or crevice of a buildings foundation.\u00a0 Some termites will make a strange clicking sound when they are inside of the walls, in the flooring or other area that they have infested.\u00a0 Another common sound that termites make is \u201cscratching\u201d.\u00a0 Some people report hearing odd scratching sounds within walls or furniture pieces.\u00a0 Often times an inspection by a pest control professional determines that the \u201cscratching\u201d is in fact termites munching away at the wood.<\/p>\n

One of the most unnerving and interesting sounds termites make is caused by their head banging.\u00a0 When a nest is discovered, soldier termites will aggressively bang their heads and bodies to let other colony members know that it is time to immediately leave the area they are in.\u00a0 This spooky knocking sound is easily identifiable to the human ear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
