What Are the Signs of a Termite Infestation?
Typically, the signs of termite damage appear long before the termites themselves. These pests nest deep within your home’s structure, causing severe damage as their colony matures. Preventing termites from silently compromising your property is critical, so knowing the signs of an infestation is essential. If you think termites have invaded, reach out to our termite control specialists for a comprehensive inspection and targeted treatment. Watch for these common indicators:
- Swarmer termites in or around the house
- Piles of discarded wings
- Mud tubes along the concrete foundation
- Termite droppings
- Blisters in wood flooring
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Small holes in the drywall
- Damaged/hollow wood

Termite Activity
Termites may burrow deep into the wood of your home, but there are still ways to detect their presence. Like all pests, they leave behind telltale signs.
You might come across winged swarmers searching for mates or find small droppings, known as frass, scattered around. Discarded wings in corners could be another indicator. However, the most definitive sign of termites is the damage they leave behind.
Termite Damage
Termite damage ranges from mild to severe, and recognizing the early signs can prevent it from worsening. Wood blisters may be mistaken for water damage but could indicate subterranean termites feeding beneath the surface. Their presence can increase moisture levels, leading to warped doors and windows that are difficult to open. Ignoring these signs can result in bulging walls or hollowed wood, but with Griffin Pest Solutions, you can stop the damage before it escalates.
