Active pests in Davenport, IA
Signs of a Termite Infestation
Subterranean termites are known as "silent destroyers" because they can feed on your home's structure for years without being seen. In the Davenport area, it is crucial to know the warning signs so you can act quickly before the damage becomes severe.
- Mud Tubes: These are the most visible signs of subterranean termites. You may find these pencil-sized tunnels, made of soil and wood, on your foundation walls, in the crawl space, or along sills.
- Swarmers or Discarded Wings: In the spring, reproductive termites called "swarmers" will fly from the colony to mate. You may see them, or find piles of their identical, discarded wings on windowsills or near doors.
- Hollow-Sounding Wood: If you tap on wood trim, baseboards, or posts and it sounds hollow, it may be because termites have eaten the wood from the inside out.
- Warped or Damaged Wood: Wood that is buckling, blistering, or appears "crushed" at structural joints can indicate a hidden termite infestation.
- Bubbling or Peeling Paint: Termite activity often introduces moisture, which can cause paint to bubble or peel, resembling signs of water damage.
- Buckling Floors: Termites can damage the subfloor and floor joists, leading to warped or buckled laminate or hardwood flooring.
If you spot any of these signs, it is essential to call for a professional inspection immediately. Ignoring them can lead to costly and complex structural repairs.
