Termite signs

What are the Termites signs? Have you ever seen paint that looks like it’s peeling and then you investigate and there is dirt within. Yep, termites. This is what I look for at baseboard levels and or the ceiling area. The paint looks like it is warping and then you pick and it gets worse.

The key factor in determining termites is the presence of dirt within the wood, lack of dirt may be Drywood Termites or even fungus growth. I suggest calling a termite inspector and have them give you an expert opinion. That is why they are paid to do what they do, training and knowledge. They also carry some tools that may help with the inspection, they can also get into attics or crawlspaces that may be difficult for you.
