Signs of Termite Infestation
• Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel between their colony and food sources.
• Wood Damage: Look for hollow-sounding wood, blistering wood surfaces, or damaged wood structures.
• Discarded Wings: Swarmers, or reproductive termites, shed their wings after finding a new nesting site.
