Termite Droppings
The first sign of a termite infestation may be worm-like mud tunnels that run up walls or foundations. Termites are particularly attracted to damp wood which may be found in basements and tunnels and are often found either within basements or emerging from them. Mysterious piles of sawdust are also indicative of dry wood termite presence. These piles could be wood residue or termite droppings known as frass. Frass can be white or black in color depending of the color of the wood termites have been eating.
Sagging floors and ceilings result from both subterranean and drywood termite infestations. In the event of more severe infestations, wooden surfaces may become so compromised that they buckle or collapse. By the time signs of termite presence become visible, it is highly likely that a home is already experiencing a full-blown infestation. In the event of any signs of termites, contact your local pest control professional to discuss treatment options.
