Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites can cause significant damage to your home before you even realize they're there. At Haskell Termite & Pest Control in Tampa, we want to help you spot the early signs of a termite infestation to protect your property.

Mud Tubes: Termites construct mud tubes to travel between their colony and food sources. These tubes are often found on walls, foundations, and crawl spaces.

Discarded Wings: Swarming termites shed their wings after finding a place to mate and establish a new colony. Piles of discarded wings near windowsills, doors, and other entry points can indicate an infestation.

Hollow Wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a hollow sound when you tap on wooden structures. If you notice this, it could be a sign of termite activity.

Frass: Termite droppings, known as frass, look like small wood-colored pellets and are often found near entry points or where termites are feeding.

Blistered or Bubbling Paint: Termites can damage the wood beneath your paint, causing it to blister or bubble. This can be mistaken for water damage but might be due to termites.

Tight-Fitting Doors and Windows: As termites consume wood, they can cause the structure to warp, making doors and windows difficult to open or close properly.

Common Types of Termites in Tampa, FL

Termites are a significant concern in Tampa, FL, where the warm and humid climate creates an ideal environment for these destructive pests. Understanding the common types of termites in the area is crucial for effective control and prevention. At Haskell Termite & Pest Control, we specialize in identifying and eradicating the following termite species:

Drywood Termites: Thrive in dry wood without the need for soil contact. Commonly infest wooden structures, furniture, and framing. Produce small, pellet-like droppings called frass, often found near infested wood.

Asian Termites: A more aggressive species known for causing extensive damage. Similar in behavior to subterranean termites but with larger colonies. Often enter homes through cracks in foundations or walls, causing structural damage.

Formosan Termites: One of the most destructive termite species in the world. Known for their large colonies and ability to cause rapid damage. Often found in soil but can also infest trees, boats, and buildings.

Subterranean Termites: The most common and destructive termites in Tampa. They live in colonies underground and build mud tubes to access wood and can cause significant damage to homes by eating away at foundations and support beams.
