Termites eat wood in a home’s foundation, floors and walls, 24 hours a day, without the homeowner’s knowledge. The most obvious sign of termite activity is large swarms of winged insects inside and/or around the home. Swarming occurs when reproductive male and female termites exit the colony and attempt to begin building a new one. While termites swarm at various times each year – according to geographic regions, species type and weather conditions – spring is typically the most common swarming period.

Other signs of a termite problem include dead termites or wings around windows, doors, heating vents, or in bathtubs and sinks; termite mud tubes on walls located outside or inside the structure; damaged or “hollow” sounding wood; and live termites. If homeowners discover any of these signs, they should contact a pest management professional and ask for a termite inspection to determine the extent of the problem.
