The first sign of termites you see may not be when the problem started.
Termite activity can sometimes go unnoticed for months or even longer because much of it happens where homeowners simply can't see it.
Drywood termites can live inside wood without soil contact. Subterranean termites can travel from the soil into a structure through concealed areas around foundations, slabs, and crawlspaces.
So when you finally notice:
🪽 Discarded wings or swarmers
🟤 Small piles of pellets
🪵 Damaged or weakened wood
🏠 Mud tubes
…it may be the first visible evidence of activity that was already underway.
Our newest Proven Insights article takes a closer look at how termites stay hidden, the early warning signs homeowners tend to miss, and when it's worth having something suspicious checked out.
