Warning Signs of Termites in Your Home
Termites can cause serious structural damage long before most homeowners realize there is a problem. Knowing what to look for gives you a real advantage when it comes to protecting your property.
Common signs New Jersey homeowners should watch for:
- Mud tubes running along foundation walls, crawl spaces, or wooden beams
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped, even in areas that appear undamaged on the surface
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doorframes, or light fixtures after a swarm
- Small piles of frass, which is a powdery wood-colored debris, near baseboards or wooden structures
- Bubbling or uneven paint on walls that resembles water damage
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or no longer fit their frames correctly
Each of these signs points to activity that may already be spreading through the structural wood of your home. Acting quickly when you spot any of them is the most important step a homeowner can take.
Termite Control That Protects What You've Built
Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage across the U.S. every year, and most homeowners insurance won't cover a dime of it. The bigger problem is that termites work quietly, often staying hidden inside walls and foundations for years before any visible signs appear.
That's where Corbett Exterminating comes in. Whether you're dealing with an active infestation or looking to get ahead of one, professional termite control gives your home a real layer of defense that DIY products simply can't match.

Why a Termite Warranty Matters
A termite bond or warranty keeps your property covered long after the initial treatment. Regular inspections catch new activity early, before it turns into an expensive structural repair. It's one of the most practical investments a homeowner can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have my home inspected regularly for termites?
Yes, regular inspections are crucial, especially if you live in an area with a high risk of termite activity. Annual inspections can help identify potential problems early and prevent extensive damage. Termite problems are often hidden from view, so professional inspections are the best way to spot an issue before it becomes severe.
How can I prevent termites from entering my home?
Here are a few preventive measures:
- Keep wood away from your foundation—don’t store firewood, mulch, or wood debris close to your house.
- Seal cracks and gaps in your foundation and around windows, doors, and pipes.
- Repair leaks promptly to reduce moisture in areas like basements and crawl spaces.
- Consider a termite barrier or treatment for additional protection, especially if you live in an area prone to termites.
How do termites enter my home?
Termites enter your home through small cracks or gaps in your foundation, walls, or around pipes and electrical lines. They can also find their way in through wood-to-ground contact or overexposed, untreated areas like wooden decks, fences, or firewood piles.
How long does it take termites to cause damage?
Termites can begin to cause significant damage surprisingly quickly. The exact timeframe depends on factors like the size of the infestation and the type of termites, but in general:
- Subterranean termites (the most common type) can cause visible damage in as little as 3 to 6 months in a heavily infested area. These termites typically start in hidden areas and work their way into the wood of your home, eating it from the inside out.
- Drywood termites may take several years to cause noticeable damage, as they usually infest smaller areas of wood and are more difficult to detect early on.
In the early stages of an infestation, termites often cause little visible damage. The wood they eat from the inside may look normal on the outside, making it easy for homeowners to miss the signs. However, as they continue to feed, structural damage can escalate quickly, compromising the integrity of your home’s framework. It’s crucial to address any signs of termites early, as even a small infestation can lead to significant damage if left untreated. Regular inspections can help catch potential problems before they become costly.
What are the most common types of termites?
There are three primary types of termites that can infest homes and properties: Subterranean, Drywood, and Formosan termites. Each type behaves differently, has unique characteristics, and requires different approaches to control and treatment. Subterranean termites are the most destructive and widespread type of termites in the United States!
What happens if I don’t treat a termite infestation?
If left untreated, termites can cause significant structural damage that could lead to expensive repairs. Over time, termites can weaken beams, flooring, and even the foundation of your home. Early intervention is key to preventing costly damage.
How can I tell if it’s a carpenter ant or a termite?
- Body Shape: Termites have broad, straight bodies with no defined waist; carpenter ants have a narrow, pinched waist.
- Antennae: Termites have straight antennae; carpenter ants have bent (“elbowed”) antennae.
- Color: Termites are pale or light-colored; carpenter ants are dark brown, black, or reddish.
- Wood Damage: Termites eat wood, leaving rough, mud-lined tunnels and mud tubes; carpenter ants tunnel into wood, leaving smooth galleries and piles of sawdust.
- Wings: Termite wings are equal in length and longer than their bodies; carpenter ants have larger front wings and smaller hind wings.
Still unsure? Both Carpenter ants and Termites are dangerous wood-destroying insects!
