Termites: The Silent Destroyers

What they do: Termites eat wood from the inside out and can cause serious structural damage before you even notice them.

Signs of Infestation:

  • Mud tubes on walls or foundations

  • Hollow-sounding wood

  • Discarded wings near windows or doors

Prevention Tips:

  • Fix leaks and reduce moisture in crawlspaces, basements, and around the foundation

  • Store firewood at least 20 feet from the house

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clean and draining away from the structure

  • Avoid wood-to-soil contact (like wooden deck posts without a concrete base)
