Look for These Signs<\/h2>\n

1) Mud Tubes<\/h3>\n

Subterranean termites live underground, but you may see mud tubs around your foundation as these pest hunt for food in your home. These tubes allow quick access to much need moisture for the subterranean termite. These mud tubes are a clear sign of possible termites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Swarmers<\/h3>\n

These little insects are the early warning signs that termites are moving in. They are sent out by a colony to hunt for a new home with a nearby food source. If you see these winged swarmers you need to contact our office as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

3) Damaged Wood<\/h3>\n

The wood in your home is composed of cellulose fibers that allow for this material to be use for construction and it also happens to be the favorite meal of the termite. You may noticed weaken siding or other wooden portions of your home that are more exposed to termites.<\/p>\n
