How can you know if you have termites?

The truth is many times you can’t know for certain. A large percentage of the average home can’t be seen. In between walls, behind baseboards, and in areas of an attic or crawl space are all hidden areas that termites can be harboring. Many times, extensive damage can be occurring for years in these areas before people notice the problem. It is still a good idea to have the house inspected on an annual basis. Pestwise professionals are trained to check for signs of termite activity. This might be damaged or soft wood, mud tubes, pellets, or termite wings and bodies from swarmers. Since even the most thorough inspection does not always reveal this evidence and does not fully guarentee absence of termites, Pestwise recommends a preventative treatment for a customer’s peace of mind.
