Termites are one of the only creatures that can, almost literally, eat an entire home. They are just as threatening as fire or a massive flood, except a whole lot more secretive and a thousand times smaller. The primary item termites eat is wood- the same material most foundations, floors, walls, roofs, and home infrastructures are made of.
Homeowners absolutely must keep a steady eye out for symptoms and signs of termites around and inside the property. If the signs are inside the home, the damage has already escalated. Watching outside and around the exterior of the home is a great overall strategy. What are some signs of termites on the outside of the home?
Termites travel through mud, and they often build mud tunnels to get around a property. The mud tunnels often break the surface. Homeowners should review around the edges of the property, particularly around the foundation and piers. If possible, look under the home and spot for tunnels around the floor joists and sills. The termites do not travel much in light, so it may be easier to spot activity during the evening time.
