There are a lot of obvious and subtle signs to look for if you suspect a pest infestation. Droppings are an instant red flag, as well as strange smells, gnaw marks, nests, or damaged plants. Wood-eating termites are an especially threatening pest to deal with because they can quickly cause a lot of damage to the structural integrity of your building. Little holes, hollow-sounding wood, and sawdust piles are all indicators that you might have a problem. On the other hand, it might be as simple as a buildup of dirt and grime, or grease trails in places they don’t belong. Look around as closely as you can, inspecting hidden areas like crevices and cupboard corners if you start to suspect an issue. Better yet, our Maintain It team can schedule a professional inspection to make sure nothing is missed, and put together an action plan to quickly rid of them.
