How to judge whether there are termites at home?

To judge whether there are termites in the house, we can observe whether there are termites' excrement around the door frame, wooden window sill and wall crack, or whether there are flying holes and air holes. If you press the wood line of the door frame or wooden window sill by hand, it will sag, or the wood line will change color, indicating that there may be termites.

How to judge whether there are termites at home?

The excrement of termites is similar to yellowish brown or dark brown loose mud, and generally accumulates around or near the ant nest.

Termite is an ant with wings. Most of its flying holes are very long, and sometimes they are sealed with mud, which is very close to the nest and rarely exceeds 10 meter.

Vents are small holes used by termites to adjust the temperature and humidity of the air in their nests. Generally, the diameter is about 1mm, just like pinholes, and the number is about 10 to 20. Some are arranged in clusters, and some are dotted lines. If you find a vent in your home, it means there are termites.
