Signs of a Termite Infestation
Termites often stay hidden until the damage becomes severe. Recognising early warning signs can save your property from costly repairs. If you notice any unusual marks, sounds, or structural issues, it may indicate active termite activity.
Common Signs Include:
Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
Mud tubes or mud trails along walls and foundations
Discarded termite wings near windows and doors
Tight-fitting doors or windows due to wood warping
Cracked or bubbling paint resembling water damage
Visible damage to skirting boards and wooden structures
If you spot any of these, schedule an inspection immediately to prevent further damage.
