WILMINGTON Wood Destroying Insects

‘WOODEN’ YOU KNOW? SPOT THE SIGNS OF WOOD DESTROYING INSECTS

Be your home’s best advocate by learning these tell-tale signs of wood-destroying insects common in Wilmington area homes. Here are key indicators 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 recognizing these signs, you can protect your home from extensive damage.
