10 Signs You Have a Termite Infestation Before It Is Too Late

Termites cause billions in damage every year, and in North Texas the subterranean species are relentless. The worst part is how quietly they work. Catch these ten signs early and you can save your Keller home a fortune.

The structural signs

Watch for mud tubes climbing the foundation, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, soft or sagging floors, and trim or baseboards that crumble. These mean termites are already feeding on the structure.

The subtle signs

Discarded wings near windows and doors after a swarm, tight-fitting or sticking doors, bubbling or blistering paint, faint clicking sounds in the walls, small piles of what looks like sawdust, and tiny pinholes in drywall all point to termite activity.

Why early matters

Termites work for months or years before the damage is obvious. By the time you see major signs, the repair bill is already growing. An annual inspection catches them early, while treatment is simpler and cheaper.

What to do next

If you spot any of these signs, do not wait. A local exterminator can confirm the infestation, treat it, and set up protection against the next colony.
