Termites are not picky eaters, they will eat any of the dry wood in your home, including the window and door frames. Termites can do a lot of damage to a home if they aren’t dealt with early. This presents an issue because termites move surreptitiously into a feeding area, building their colony up while devouring the home. Termites are one of the most common calls for professionals for residential pest control in Pearl City. Look for these signs that a termite invasion might be building in your home.
Clicking
When your house is quiet at night, do you hear a clicking sound coming from the walls? Termites are loud eaters and this is a clear sign you should have your property inspected by a technician for residential pest control in Pearl City immediately. This could also be the sound of soldier termites banging their head against the walls to signal danger to their friends.
Flyers
Some termites can fly, these are either men or women that are moving from their old colony to scout a new one. They will then find a new mate to start a new colony where you live. Generally, you will see these swarmers at night near a light source. The good news is, if you have caught them, you are early in the invasion.
Windows and doors stuck
Termites leave a lot of moisture behind, causing door and window frames to warp. If your doors and windows are having a hard time opening or closing, it could mean you have a termite infestation.
