Termite Warning SignsHOW DO YOU KNOW IF TERMITES ARE INFESTING YOUR PROPERTY?Termites do expose their presence in several ways. 1.Termite Swarmers (Alates) | | | | These are the winged members of the termite colony. They are the future kings and queens of new colonies. They emerge by the hundreds in early spring creating a swarm effect. They shed their wings in order to pair-off and mate when they dig a cavity in the soil. They often leave their discarded wings inside around windows as they attempt to get outdoors to mate. Their black bodies and discarded wings are sure signs of a termite infestation. | |  Swarming Termites | 2.Mud Tubes or Tunnels
| | | These mud tubes are created by termites to shelter them from the dry atmosphere. These tubes are connected to the damp soil and create humidified runways. Termites travel up and down these tubes to eat wood components of your home. They also use tubes to move the swarmers out of the colony. Look for the tubes along the foundation, on the sill plate and on baseboards, window and door frames. 3.Soft Spots or Blisters on Drywall Termites secretly attack slab homes by entering along the foundation and footer joint and up into the walls. They will feed on the paper covering of the masonite boards. This creates bubbles, warps and small holes on the wall surface or on baseboards. | |  Termite Shelter Tube
