Termite infestations are often called “silent destroyers” because they quietly damage wood, furniture, and structures without being noticed until the destruction is severe. These pests thrive in dark, damp, and hidden areas—making it difficult for homeowners to detect them in time.
At Anu Pest Solutions, we believe early detection is the key to protecting your property. Here are the most common signs of a termite infestation you should never ignore:
🔸 Mud Tubes on Walls
Subterranean termites build pencil-sized mud tubes made of soil and debris. You’ll usually find them on walls, ceilings, or along building foundations—these act as protected highways for termites to move around undetected.
🔸 Discarded Wings
After mating, termites shed their wings near windows, doors, or light sources. Piles of tiny, identical wings are a clear indicator of termite activity nearby.
🔸 Hollow or Papery-Sounding Wood
Termites eat wood from the inside out. If you tap on wooden furniture, beams, or doors and they sound hollow or papery, termites could be the reason.
🔸 Hard-to-Open Doors & Windows
Infested timber swells due to termite mud and moisture, making doors and windows difficult to open or close smoothly.
🔸 Termite Droppings (Frass)
Drywood termites often leave behind small, grain-like droppings near infested areas. These look like piles of sand or pepper granules.
🔸 Damaged Floors & Walls
Sagging or blistered wooden floors, unexplained cracks on walls, and loose skirting boards can all be signs of termite activity.
🔸 Ceiling & Roof Damage
Wooden rafters, beams, or ceilings with visible cracks may point to hidden termite infestation in the upper areas of your home.
🔸 Foundation or Garden Damage
Termites may attack decking, wooden fences, trees, and even slip through cracks in concrete foundations to reach indoor wooden structures.
