How it works

Signs of Termite Infestation

Termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can eat through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected. Here are the most common signs of termite activity in Brownsville homes:

  • Mud tubes on exterior walls, foundation, or crawl spaces — subterranean termites build these pencil-width tunnels to travel between their colony and food sources
  • Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures — swarmers shed their wings after finding a new nesting site, typically in spring
  • Hollow-sounding wood when tapped — termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a thin layer of paint or wood veneer
  • Frass (termite droppings) — small, dark pellets that look like sawdust or coffee grounds near wooden structures
  • Stuck windows or doors — termite damage can warp wood frames, making them difficult to open
  • Sagging floors or ceilings — advanced infestations compromise structural integrity
