Termites cause over $5 billion in structural damage annually across the United States, with subterranean species responsible for a significant portion of this damage. Eastern and Formosan subterranean termites are the most common and damaging species in humid areas such as Northern Virginia. These pests travel via soil and enter properties through their foundations, where they will begin feeding on wooden structures. Because termites are so destructive, early detection is paramount to preventing costly repairs, and experts say that property owners should be aware of signs of infestation to properly protect their property.
While property owners will benefit from expert inspections, there are some warning signs that can be identified without professional equipment. Mud tubes, which are small structures typically as wide as a pencil, serve as protected pathways between termite colonies and food sources, and they can be found around properties where an active colony resides. Wood damage, including blistered floors and walls, hollow-sounding surfaces, and sagging structural elements, is also another sign of a severe infestation, though this damage may be hidden within walls.
Finally, if property owners notice flying swarms or discarded scale-like wings near window sills, they should take immediate action, as these are signs that an active colony has begun expanding in proximity to the property.
To prevent termite infestations, Connor’s Pest Pros’ guide advises property owners to schedule annual inspections with professional pest control companies, which can use infrared imaging and moisture mapping technology to detect damage hidden within walls. Residents are also advised to eliminate moisture sources, seal gaps or cracks in the home’s foundation, store firewood away from the property, and clear their yards of debris to make the environment less favorable for the pests.
Should individuals suspect an infestation, they are strongly encouraged to contact a professional pest control company, as termites are notoriously difficult to eradicate and often require specialized treatments.
