How To Spot Termite Damage
Termites are sneaky little pests and oftentimes the damage they are causing may go unnoticed if you don't know what to look for.
There are many ways to spot a termite infestation, but here are 8 sure-fire ways to know if you need to call in the experts:
- Blistered/sagging floors
- Cracks in the walls and ceilings.
- Foundation damage
- Sticking windows/doors
- Damaged decking or wooden fence posts
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Mud tubes on exterior walls
- Signs of swarm
Blistered or sagging floors is one of the number one indicators of termites in the house. You may be under the impression that your children have just been tracking in too much water from the pool, but this isn’t water damage, it’s a sign that you need to call McCauley for a free inspection and estimate. Another sign of termites is cracked walls and ceilings. Termites live inside the walls and eat away at door frames, walls, flooring, etc. All of this can cause your home to have structural damage and that is not a term your bank account wants to hear. Sticking windows and doors may be another sign of termites burrowing deep inside the cracks of them. Whenever termites eat away at the cellulose found in timber, the cracks it makes may cause your windows and doors to shift. This is why they stick and why you need to have someone out to inspect it as soon as possible.
If you’ve taken a look at your deck and noticed the railings or fence posts seem damaged, it is another sign of termite damage. It takes on a look that may resemble a beehive. That means a nest of termites is chewing through your outdoor wood and will surely be making its way inside if they haven’t already. This wood and the wood inside of your house that the termites have nested in will most likely sound hollow. You can test this by knocking on them, gently, and listening to hear if it sounds structurally sound or as though it has been hollowed out. Another major sign that you have a termite problem is mud tubes on the exterior walls. To protect themselves from high temperatures, termites create little mud tubes that look like straws to travel from one area to another in your home. These are very visible and if you notice them, you need to call McCauley right away. The last and one of the most obvious signs of a termite infestation is when you can see tiny little wings in areas such as window sills and basement floors. These piles of wings look like bugs at first, but on closer inspection, you notice it is a collection of wings they left behind as they migrated to another area of your home. You don’t need to wait until you have seen every sign to call for an inspection. It is better to be safe than sorry, so call McCauley today.

Termites nest almost always consists of thousands to millions of termites. Where there is one nest, there is almost always a second nest competing for food, i.e. the wood in your home. If you are already at risk of termites, you need an immediate solution. This is when we come out and use Sentricon to treat your home. This is an EPA-registered solution that is safe for you and your family. It’s a bait that termites actually prefer over wood. Remember when we said there are millions of termites in one nest? Well, they cannot survive without each other.

When it comes to termites, we take keeping your home protected seriously.
