Some common signs of termite infestation are as follows:

• Presence of mud tubes on walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Hollow-sounding wood or wood that appears to be damaged.
• Discarded termite wings near windows, doors, or other entry points.
• Presence of termite droppings (also known as frass), which resembles sawdust or coffee grounds.
• Buckling or bubbling paint, indicating moisture damage.
• Tight-fitting doors or windows that are difficult to open or close.
• Squeaky floorboards or loose tiles, indicate damage to the subfloor.
• Presence of swarming termites or termite swarmers, which are winged termites that emerge from their colonies to mate and start new colonies.

Termites are small, pale-coloured insects that resemble ants. They have soft bodies, straight antennae, and wings that are typically longer than their bodies.

To prevent termites, you should remove wood or cellulose-based debris from around your home and seal all cracks and crevices in your home's foundation, walls, and roof to prevent termite entry. Keeping your home dry and well-ventilated can also help prevent termite infestations.

While some DIY termite control methods may be effective at preventing or controlling small termite infestations, professional termite control services are generally more effective and reliable for larger or more severe infestations. It is important to consult with a professional termite control company to assess the severity of the infestation and determine the most effective treatment plan.

Termites can enter your home through any small cracks or gaps in the foundation or walls, as well as through gaps around pipes, vents, or other openings. They can also enter through infested wood brought into the home, such as firewood or building materials. Additionally, termites can build mud tubes to bridge gaps between soil and wood, allowing them to enter your home from the soil.

The lifespan of a termite varies based on its role in the colony. Worker termites, which make up the majority of the colony, typically live for about 1-2 years. Soldiers have a slightly shorter lifespan of around 1-1.5 years, while reproductive termites (kings and queens) can live for several years to decades, with some queen termites living up to 30 years in ideal conditions.

Termites do not bite humans or pets as they are not equipped with the mouthparts necessary for biting. They primarily feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials. While they do not pose direct physical harm to people or pets, a termite infestation can cause significant damage to the structural integrity of a home or other wooden structures. Additionally, some people may be allergic to termite droppings, which can cause respiratory problems.

You should consider hiring a termite control service as soon as you suspect a termite infestation in your home. Common signs of a termite infestation include mud tubes, discarded wings, trails on the wall, cracks in the wall, blisters due to water leakage, holes or cracks in furniture, damaged wooden structure, and hollow-sounding furniture. It is important to act quickly as termites can cause significant damage to the structure of your home if left untreated. Additionally, regular inspections and preventive treatments can help prevent termite infestations before they occur.

Generally, a termite control service provider uses the drill-fill-seal method to exterminate termites. Expert technicians will inspect the property, drill holes in the infested areas, fill them with termiticide solution and seal them to eradicate the termites. They may also recommend preventive measures and follow-up treatments.
