Finding termites in your home can be alarming, but it’s important to stay calm and act quickly to prevent significant damage.

Guide on what to do

Identify the Type of Termite

• Subterranean termites – They live in the ground & build mud tubes to reach wood.

• Drywood termites – They infest dry wood & often leave behind small holes and droppings.

Inspect the Infested Area

Look for visible signs of damage such as…

• Hollow-sounding wood

• Mud tubes along walls, beams, or ceilings

• Small holes or frass (wooden droppings)

Limit the Damage

• Avoid disturbing the affected area too much to prevent spreading the infestation.

• Don’t try DIY solutions like sprays, termites are tough to eliminate without professional help.

Contact a Pest Control Expert

• Call a licensed exterminator who specializes in termite treatment.

• Schedule an inspection to assess the extent of the infestation.

Prepare for Treatment

• Remove any furniture or objects blocking access to infested areas.

• Follow the exterminator’s instructions for any preparations needed.
