Wood damaged by termites in garage trim boards and wall

There are several ways to find termites in wood:

Check for mud tubes: Termites build mud tubes as a protective shelter as they move from the soil to the wood. Look for small, narrow tubes on the foundation of your home or on wooden structures.

Look for swarmers: During certain times of the year, termites will swarm, meaning they will fly out of their colony in search of a mate and a new place to start a colony.

Check for damaged wood: Termites feed on wood and can cause significant damage. Look for hollow-sounding areas in wooden structures, sagging or cracked floors, or small holes in wooden surfaces.

Hire a professional inspector: If you're not sure if you have termites or if you want a more thorough inspection, it's best to hire a professional. They will have the training, experience, and tools to properly inspect your home or property for termites.

It's important to catch and treat a termite infestation as soon as possible to prevent significant damage to your property.
