Signs of Termites: When to Call Osborne's Pest Services

Recognizing the signs of a termite infestation can save Brisbane homeowners from costly repairs and structural damage. Termites are notorious for their ability to remain hidden while causing extensive harm to wooden structures. Knowing what to look for can help you detect termites early and take prompt action to protect your property.

These tubes are created by termites as they travel between their nests and food sources. They provide protection from predators and help maintain the moisture levels termites require for survival. If you notice mud tubes around your home, especially in damp or shaded areas, it may indicate a termite infestation.

Another sign of termites is the presence of discarded wings near windowsills or light fixtures. Winged termites, also known as swarmers or alates, emerge from mature colonies to establish new colonies elsewhere. Finding discarded wings indoors suggests that termites have already entered your home and may be nesting nearby.

Additionally, homeowners should be alert to any changes in the appearance or sound of wooden structures. Termites feed on wood from the inside out, leaving a thin layer of paint or veneer intact while hollowing out the inside. Tapping on suspected infested wood may produce a hollow sound, indicating severe damage caused by termites.
