How to Tell if You Have Termites

Termites can be tricky to spot, as they often cause damage long before becoming visible. Knowing the signs of a termite infestation can save you time and money by catching the problem early. Below are some common indicators that termites may be invading your Palm Bay home:

• Hollow-sounding wood: If wood sounds hollow when tapped, termites may be eating away from the inside.
• Mud tubes: Termites build small, tube-like structures made of mud along walls and foundations to protect themselves as they travel.
• Discarded wings: After termites swarm, they often shed their wings, leaving small piles near windows, doors, or other entry points.
• Frass (termite droppings): Drywood termites leave behind small, pellet-like droppings that resemble sawdust.
• Buckling or warped wood: Termites can cause wood to warp or buckle, making floors and walls uneven.
• Termite swarms: Swarming termites often appear in spring, and seeing large numbers of flying insects near windows or light sources is a strong sign of infestation.

In addition to these physical signs, you might notice damage to wooden structures or even unusual clicking sounds coming from the walls, which could be termites at work. It’s essential to act quickly if you notice any of these signs, as termites can cause extensive damage in a short amount of time. If you're unsure or need professional assistance, Sandpiper Pest Control is here to conduct a thorough inspection and provide effective termite control solutions.

Different Types of Termites Found in Palm Bay

Palm Bay is home to several termite species, with the most common being subterranean and dry wood termites. Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to access homes, often targeting foundations, walls, and structural beams. Their underground nature allows them to cause significant damage before being detected.

Drywood termites, on the other hand, don’t need soil to survive. They infest wooden structures directly, living inside your walls, furniture, and flooring. Unlike subterranean termites, they can remain hidden for long periods, making them harder to spot until damage becomes severe.

Both types of termites pose serious threats to the structural integrity of your home. Subterranean termites can quickly spread, while dry wood termites silently destroy wood from the inside. Sandpiper Pest Control specializes in identifying these species and applying targeted treatments to eliminate infestations and prevent further damage.
