白蚁飞

Usually the first sign of termites is flying termites. These flying termites, called swarmers, look like flying ants. They typically come out in early spring to mate and establish a new colony.

丢弃的翅膀

Another common sign of termites is discarded wings. Soon after swarmers find a mate, they’ll discard their wings. You may see swarmer wings on your window sills or around your home’s foundation.

白蚁的粪便

A key sign of termites, particularly with dry木白蚁 is termite feces, called frass. Unlike subterranean termites, dry木白蚁 don’t use their feces to build tunnels. 而, they push the feces out of small holes near the entrances to their nest, leaving behind small mounds of droppings. Frass is an indicator that is always looked for during a professional termite inspection.

隧道在木

Wood tunnels, also known as galleries, are obviously difficult to see from the outside. 然而, if you see them on a broken piece of 木, for example in or near your home, it’s a sure sign you have termites.

泥浆管

Subterranean termites build mud tubes out of soil, 木, and saliva which connect their colonies to the 木 they’re consuming.

Clicking Sounds within Walls

Another sign of a termite infestation is through sound. Soldier termites bang their heads against 木 or shake their bodies when their colony is distburbed in order to alert others of danger. This may sound like little clicking sounds.

Worker termites are also noisy. These are the pests who do the actual 木-eating. If you put your ear close to an infestation, you can hear them eating.

Hollow-Sounding木材

Dry木 termites typically consume 木 from the inside out, leaving a thin piece of 木 or just the paint. If you tap on a piece of 木 that has been damaged by termites, it will sound hollow.
