Property Damage Caused By Termites

As many homes are primarily constructed of wood, this provides food for the average termite colony. Termite infestations can cause large-scale damage to your home. They do this by traversing through timber, plaster, and metal. Once the termite has entered your property, they will eat their way through furniture, flooring, and fabrics. This can end up costing you a LOT of money.

It’s always best to ensure that you are taking proactive measures in dealing with termite infestations, as reactive measures can get quite costly. With this in mind, it is vital that you conduct a regular inspection of your home.

What to look for and where to look for it

The following details will help you to identify where you should look to make sure the most detailed inspection is achieved.

Interior

Your inspection should include every room in your house, ensuring that you inspect behind curtains, under the bed, behind appliances and inside the cabinets. Check for the imperfections on the wood and drywall of each room. The simplest way on how to identify the imperfections is by shining a flashlight along the length of the wall.

Attics

This should be the final place to look. Check the attic for termite tubes, mud or decayed wood. If you come across any area infested, be sure to check the density of the affected wood.

Exterior

The signs of termites typically show outside the home. The home perimeter should be inspected well. Be sure to inspect the foundation for signs of termite tubes .It important to get rid of all dead from the perimeter of home, as this can be favorable environment for termite to breed. If home has wood or plastic, check the base of the sidings to look for any sign of termite.

Crawl spaces

Here, you are looking for the termite tubes running from the ground up the side of foundation. In case you find signs of termites, use a tool to test the density of the affected wood close to the termite tube. Dig a trench along the foundation to see if you will find termites. This will determine the severity of the infestation.
