Recognizing the Alarming Signs of Termite Activity

Termites, particularly the subterranean species common in Northwest Arkansas, require moisture and contact with soil to thrive, making them difficult to spot until the damage is significant. They travel through mud tubes they construct between the soil and the wood structure of your home, remaining hidden from view. Being aware of their subtle indicators allows for prompt, professional intervention that can save you from catastrophic repair bills.

It is vital to contact a professional for an inspection if you notice any of these key signs around your Lowell property:

• Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized, earthen tunnels running along foundation walls, floor joists, or concrete slabs. These are used as sheltered highways by subterranean termites.
• Discarded Wings: Finding small piles of translucent, shed wings near windowsills, doors, or light sources, often mistaken for fish scales. These are left behind after swarmers emerge to start new colonies.
• Damaged Wood: Discovering wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or seeing bubbling, peeling paint that is actually structural damage below the surface.
• Frass (Termite Pellets): Tiny, wood-colored pellets that look like sawdust or fine grit, which are the fecal droppings of drywood termites.
• Swarmers: Seeing small, flying insects, often mistaken for flying ants, emerging from the soil or foundation cracks, typically in large numbers during warmer months.
• Tight Doors or Windows: While often attributed to humidity, warped wood that makes closing doors or windows difficult can sometimes be an early sign of termites tunneling and nesting within the frame.

These signs demand immediate attention. Only a professional can accurately assess the extent of the colony and implement a treatment plan that eliminates the threat completely.
