🔸 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.
