Subterranean termites create mud tubes, their very own superhighways that connect their nests to the wood they feast on.
When the weather starts to warm up, subterranean termites swarm to go off and develop a brand new colony.
Frass is a fancy way of saying termite droppings. Frass is made up of very small, granular pellets shaped like ovals. If termites are present, you’ll often find frass by baseboards, door frames, and windowsills.
If you have subterranean termites, your paint may bubble or peel. Termites damaging drywall create access for moisture and air to get between the paint and the surface. The moisture below the painted surface can start buckling as a result.
