How can you tell if there are termites on your property?
It's now always easy to tell if there are termites around. The first time you realise there is an issue could be when the wooden structures in your home begin to sag. This is because termites gnaw on wood from the inside out; so they can eat away all the insides of the wood in your home without you realising it. However, if you look carefully there may be some signs of termites you can spot.
- Termite tubes which are thin tubes that appear clay-like. Termites can travel down them or store food in them.
- Termite droppings which look a little like pepper.
- The sound of soldier termites tapping their heads to tell other termites to follow.
