DURHAM Wood Destroying Insects

Beyond Termites: Wood Eating Ants, Carpenter Bees and More

When it comes to wood destruction in the Eastern North Carolina area, termites get all the attention—and deservedly so.

But there are other species of insects that can also inflict major damage on your home before you know it: carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood boring beetles. These pests can severely damage your Durham, NC home’s structure, leading to expensive repairs.

At Terminix, we provide effective solutions tailored to Durham’s unique challenges, ensuring your property stays safe.

SPOT THE SIGNS OF WOOD DESTROYING INSECTS

Recognizing the signs of wood destroying insects early can save you from costly repairs. Here are key indicators for homeowners in Durham, NC, to watch for:

  • Hollow-Sounding Wood: Tap on wooden structures; a hollow sound may indicate internal damage from termites or carpenter ants.
  • Discarded Wings: Look for piles of wings near windows, doors, or other entry points, a common sign of termites.
  • Small Holes in Wood: Carpenter bees and wood boring beetles often leave behind small, round holes in wooden surfaces.
  • Visible Damage: Check for cracks, holes, or weakened wood, especially in basements, attics, and crawl spaces.
  • Buzzing Sounds: Listen for buzzing or drilling noises near wood structures, indicating the presence of carpenter bees.
  • Tunnels in Wood: Visible tunnels or galleries inside wood can point to various wood destroying insects.

By staying vigilant and identifying these signs, you can protect your home from extensive damage.
