TERMITE WARNING SIGNS

Drywood Termites
One of the common symptoms of drywood termite attack is the accumulation of tiny,
straw-colored fecal pellets inside or beneath infested furniture. These pellets sift from small
holes in the surface of infested wood or are pushed out through small round openings
maintained by the termites for this purpose. The hard fecal pellets have six distinct, concave
surfaces. Signs of termite infestation also include swarming of winged forms in fall and spring
and evidence of tunneling in wood.

Subterranean Termites
Infestations of the subterranean termites in a building may be recognized by the swarming of the reproductives in the spring
in or about the building, by mud protruding from cracks between boards or beams or along basement joists, by the earthen
tubes extending from the soil to the wood, or by the hollowness of the wood in which the insects have been tunneling.
