How To Do A Termite Inspection
The appearance of winged or swarming termites is often the first indication of a termite problem. Although the swarm poses little or no immediate danger to the structure, it is a warning that termites may be attacking your home, and the homeowner should make an effort to locate the source from which they are emerging. Now is the time to make a inspection of your home. If you are not able to do this inspection, or are not satisfied with your results, you should call a professional termite company to do the inspection for you.

Signs of Termites
We are looking for mud tubes, constructed over surfaces of foundation walls, or directly connecting the soil and the structure. These tubes are between 1/4" and 1/2" or more wide. If the termite tunnel is in use, the inside is moist and there may be white workers present. If a section of the tube is broken open the workers will repair the breach as soon as possible to avoid losing essential moisture. While protecting termites from the drying effects of direct exposure sun the tube structure also protects termites from natural enemies like ants.
Without the external evidence of winged termites or visible termite shelter tubes, it is more difficult to determine whether or not termites are present.
Getting Started
Check all places where wood is near, or rests on, the ground. Weather boarding, wood supports, basement window frames, door casings, sills, etc., can be checked for soundness by tapping lightly with a small hammer and/or probed with a screwdriver. If hollow wood is found, and it is the result of a termite infestation, the soft grain portions of the wood will be eaten away leaving the hard grain sections, making the wood look a little like an accordion.
Annual Inspection
Make this inspection annually. Termites left to do their work without detection over time can cause severe damage to your home and your pocket book.
