Warning Signs Your Home May Have a Termite Problem
Termites can quietly work through the structure of a home for months before most homeowners notice anything is off. In our area, drywood and subterranean termites are both common, and the warm climate means they stay active well beyond typical seasonal windows. Knowing what to look for early can make a real difference in what you spend to fix the damage.
Here are some of the most common signs of a termite infestation in California homes:
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doorframes, or light fixtures after a swarm
- Mud tubes running along your foundation, walls, or crawl space, a telltale sign of subterranean termites
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, often found in baseboards, door frames, or flooring
- Small piles of frass, which looks like fine sawdust or pellets, near wooden surfaces
- Bubbling or uneven paint on wood surfaces that may look similar to water damage
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or no longer fit their frames properly
- Visible tunnels or galleries inside exposed wood in attics, garages, or crawl spaces
- Swarmer activity, especially in fall or early spring when colonies send out reproductive termites
Many of these signs are easy to miss until the damage has already set in. Drywood termites, which are particularly common in our area, often establish colonies inside walls and roof structures with very few visible clues on the surface. If anything on this list sounds familiar, the sooner you get an expert set of eyes on your home, the better.
