Hollow sounding termite

If you found that your wooden furniture is facing damage, then it can be a sign of termite. Generally, termites eat the wood and will leave it damaged. As you don’t want your favorite furniture to be damaged, all you have to is to call a professional termite exterminator, who will do the termite treatment.

Tight doors and windows

Especially in the monsoon season, when the weather is very damp, termites can live in your doors and windows. If you find that your doors and windows are tight and warped, then be sure that the termites have been there. Windows and the doors are warped because termites produce moisture in the time of eating and tunneling through the door and the window.

Sawdust can be a sign of termites

Drywood termites will drill tiny and irregular holes in your wooden furniture or a baseboard. You cannot see the termites in the naked eye, except for one thing, the termites leave the sawdust. On that note, if you see that there are piles of sawdust near to the wooden furniture, you are sure that there are termites in your home.
