What Termites Can Do to Your Home

Structural damage

Termites feed on wood from the inside out. Over time, they can weaken support beams, joists, and even drywall. In Battle Creek’s climate, we often see this in basements and crawl spaces.

Costly repairs

By the time homeowners notice termites, the damage is already in the thousands. Replacing flooring, drywall, or damaged framing can quickly add up, especially without a termite removal plan in place.

Decreased home value

A known termite infestation can delay home sales or reduce property value. Even after treatment, buyers may hesitate unless you’ve worked with a trusted termite control provider.

Hazards

Compromised beams and hollowed-out wood pose more than financial risks—they can lead to sagging floors, cracked walls, and even serious issues like collapsing floors in extreme cases.

That’s why having a reliable plan to deal with termites is essential for Battle Creeks property owners who want to protect their homes and buildings from long-term structural issues and costly repairs.

How to Spot a Termite Infestation

Keep an eye out for these four common signs of subterranean termite activity:

Mud tubes along foundation walls

Subterranean termites use these pencil-thin tubes for travel between their nest and your home. You’ll typically find them on basement walls or along the foundation.

Hollow-sounding wood

Knock on wooden trim or baseboards—if it sounds hollow or papery, termites may have tunneled inside. Often, the damage is hidden just beneath the surface.

Discarded wings near windowsills

Termite swarmers shed their wings after finding a place to mate. If you spot piles of small, translucent wings, it’s a sign they’ve already chosen your home.

Tight-fitting doors or windows

As termites feed and introduce moisture into wood, it can warp and swell. This often makes windows and doors harder to open or close.

“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
