Warning Signs of Termite Trouble in Your Home
Termites can quietly damage your home's structure long before you notice their presence. These wood-destroying insects cost homeowners billions in property damage each year, with Eastern subterranean termites being particularly problematic in our area.
Watch for these telltale termite warning signs in your home:
- Mud tubes along foundation walls or in crawl spaces
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Crumbling or damaged wood trim and baseboards
- Discarded wings near windowsills, especially during spring swarm season
- Sagging floors or bubbling paint that might indicate moisture damage
- Frass (termite droppings) that resemble small wood-colored pellets
Many homeowners mistake termite damage for water damage or normal aging of wood structures. The older homes common in our area are particularly vulnerable, with their wood foundations and basement structures providing easy entry points. Catching these warning signs early can save thousands in repair costs down the road. Delsea Termite & Pest Control offers thorough inspections that can identify infestations before major structural damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do termites enter my home?
Termites enter your home through small cracks or gaps in your foundation, walls, or around pipes and electrical lines. They can also find their way in through wood-to-ground contact or overexposed, untreated areas like wooden decks, fences, or firewood piles.
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.
What happens if I don’t treat a termite infestation?
If left untreated, termites can cause significant structural damage that could lead to expensive repairs. Over time, termites can weaken beams, flooring, and even the foundation of your home. Early intervention is key to preventing costly damage.
