Can Homeowners detect Termites?

Yes and No. Unless there are obvious signs of active infestations, you probably won't detect termites, because they actually feed hidden from your view. Some of an active infestation include discarded wings, wood that sounds hollow when its tapped, also cracked paint and obviously termite droppings that appear like sawdust The most apparent sign are mud tubes that appear to hollow out the wood.

The two types of termites are the most common types in Wisconsin, but luckily we rarely have active termite infestations in Wisconsin. Unfortunatley, termite colonies will work
24 hours a day 7 days a week, in fact most infestations go undiscovered until serious damage is already done to your home. If you feel that you may have termites call us and we will send out one of our techs to evaluate the problem.
