It's hard to tell when termites are creeping around your home. They're natural hiders and persistent workers, but when you see the signs, they are pretty hard to miss. Termites can cause horrible things to happen in your home that will end up haunting you and your family leaving you with plenty of home repair bills to pay. If you're ready to take care of your termite problem now, contact Kev's Pest Management immediately. If you think your house is fine, then look out for these signs of a termite invasion. Keep in mind, there are over 300 types of termites, but most of them show similar patterns.

1. Muddy Tubes Are Around Your House

Termites love moist places. When they're creeping into your home, they're looking for a place to burrow themselves as they manoeuvre their way to the wooden structures of your home. These tubes should be aligned on concrete floors or walls. They're usually pretty long and are often full of termites; basically a nest. If you see little tubes of mud or dirt gathered around the outside or inside of your home, contact a professional post control company immediately. They're already making camp in your personal space and it's good that you get them out as soon as possible. You can check if termites are still living in the tube by scratching a line in the middle of the tube and wait a while to see if the tube is repaired.

2. Termite Droppings In Wooden Areas

The termites invading your home will feel free to use the bathroom in the areas of your home that have the most wood. These little wooden pellets mixed with their faecal matter are pretty easy to notice as they are usually in piles and scattered across the wooden surface. Termite droppings are also known as "frass" and are a huge red flag for a termite infestation. Frass is a sign that drywood termites have made their way into your home and they are very common in Brisbane. If you see little termite dropping mounds inside or outside your home, the termites have made your home their own home and it's definitely time to contact Pest control Brisbane north.

3. Termite Wings Are Everywhere And They Keep Flying Toward The Light
Amongst every group of termites, there are a few that can fly. The flying termites, known as swarmers, are pretty hard to miss because they often travel in groups. Once they find an area of your home that they like, they like to strip off their wings and leave them around for you to find, like a teen that doesn't like to pick up their clothes off the floor. If you find tiny wings around your home, often near your windows, on the floor or around sources of light, then the termites are making way into your home. It's time to call a professional pest control Brisbane northside company.
