What do termites look like?
Most of us never see them. These
ravenous creatures have been munching away on wood for more than 250 million
years, long before people started building their homes from trees. Don’t confuse flying ants with termites
because they do have a similar look, but the damage that they do is very
different.
What are some signs that your Chicagoland home may have a
termite infestation –
1. Sawdust near
windows and door frames
2. Mud tubes
connecting the nest to the base of your house
3. Wings that have
shed
4. The wood sounds
hollow when you tap on it
5. Wood that looks
water damaged, but has not been exposed to liquid
Make no mistake about it…termites look for a warm place to
live this time of year and your home is potentially one of them! When you see any of the signs that termites
