Warning Signs of Termite Trouble in Your Home
Termites silently cause billions in property damage each year while many homeowners remain unaware until significant structural issues emerge. Recognizing the early warning signs of termite activity can save your home from extensive damage and your wallet from costly repairs.
Look for these common indicators of termite infestation in your home:
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped or damaged wood that crumbles easily
- Mud tubes about the width of a pencil running along foundations or walls
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or other home entry points
- Tight-fitting doors and windows that suddenly stick
- Small holes in drywall or bubbling and uneven paint surfaces
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or appears damaged
- Frass (termite droppings) that resemble small wood-colored pellets
Many of these signs are subtle and easily overlooked by untrained eyes, which is why professional inspections are crucial for early detection. Delsea Termite & Pest Control technicians are trained to spot even the most discreet evidence of termite activity during thorough property assessments, helping to identify problems before they become structural emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have my home inspected regularly for termites?
Yes, regular inspections are crucial, especially if you live in an area with a high risk of termite activity. Annual inspections can help identify potential problems early and prevent extensive damage. Termite problems are often hidden from view, so professional inspections are the best way to spot an issue before it becomes severe.
How can I prevent termites from entering my home?
Here are a few preventive measures:
- Keep wood away from your foundation—don’t store firewood, mulch, or wood debris close to your house.
- Seal cracks and gaps in your foundation and around windows, doors, and pipes.
- Repair leaks promptly to reduce moisture in areas like basements and crawl spaces.
- Consider a termite barrier or treatment for additional protection, especially if you live in an area prone to termites.
How long does it take termites to cause damage?
Termites can begin to cause significant damage surprisingly quickly. The exact timeframe depends on factors like the size of the infestation and the type of termites, but in general:
- Subterranean termites (the most common type) can cause visible damage in as little as 3 to 6 months in a heavily infested area. These termites typically start in hidden areas and work their way into the wood of your home, eating it from the inside out.
- Drywood termites may take several years to cause noticeable damage, as they usually infest smaller areas of wood and are more difficult to detect early on.
In the early stages of an infestation, termites often cause little visible damage. The wood they eat from the inside may look normal on the outside, making it easy for homeowners to miss the signs. However, as they continue to feed, structural damage can escalate quickly, compromising the integrity of your home’s framework. It’s crucial to address any signs of termites early, as even a small infestation can lead to significant damage if left untreated. Regular inspections can help catch potential problems before they become costly.
