## Visual signs that are easy to spot

Several termite signs are visible directly: mud tubes on walls and foundations, piles of wings near windows, bubbling wall paint, and fine wood powder (frass) around frames and furniture.

- Mud tubes on walls.
- Discarded wings on the floor.
- Bubbling paint or hollow walls.

## Signs you can hear and feel

Tap door frames or wooden floors — a hollow sound may mean termites have eaten the timber from inside. Doors and windows that suddenly stick can also indicate moisture and termite activity.

## Frequently asked questions

Can termites go away on their own?

No. A termite colony keeps growing and damaging as long as timber and moisture are available. The sooner it is treated, the less the damage.
