Signs of Termites
What Homeowners In Brisbane and South East Queensland Should Look Out For
1. Hollow-Sounding Timber
If you tap on skirting boards, window frames, or floorboards and they sound hollow, termites may have eaten the wood from the inside out.
2. Mud Tubes or Mud Leads
Subterranean termites build mud tubes to protect themselves while moving between their nest and a food source. These are often found on walls, foundations, or brickwork.
3. Cracked or Bubbling Paint
Termite damage beneath the surface can cause paint to bubble or crack, often resembling water damage.
4. Discarded Wings
After termites swarm, they shed their wings. If you find small, transparent wings around window sills or entryways, a nearby colony may be active.
5. Noisy Walls or Clicking Sounds
Termites can sometimes be heard as they chew through timber. You may notice a faint clicking sound inside walls, an indication of termite communication, especially at night when the house is quiet.
6. Tight-Fitting Doors and Windows
As termites eat through timber, they create moisture that causes surrounding wood to swell. This can lead to hard-to-open windows or doors.
7. Tunnels in Wood
Visible galleries or tunnels in exposed timber can be a sure sign that termites have been active for some time.
Early Termite Detection Matters
Regular Termite Inspections Are Vital
Prevent Expensive Structural Damage: Undetected termites can silently eat away at your home's structure, leading to thousands of dollars in repairs that are often not covered by insurance.
More Affordable and Targeted Treatments: Catching termites early means smaller colonies and less damage, making treatments faster, more effective, and more cost-efficient.
Protect Property Value and Peace of Mind: Early inspections help safeguard your investment and avoid complications during renovations, sales, or council approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the first signs of termites in a home?
The first signs of termites often include hollow-sounding timber, mud tubes along walls or foundations, cracked or bubbling paint, and tight-fitting doors or windows. These subtle indicators can appear before any visible damage is noticed.
Are discarded wings a sign of termites?
Yes. Discarded wings near windowsills or doors are a common sign of a recent termite swarm. If you find piles of small, clear wings in your home, it’s likely that termites are nearby and actively looking to establish a new colony.
Can termites cause damage without being seen?
Absolutely. Termites are known for causing extensive damage behind walls, under floors, and inside wooden structures without any visible signs. This is why regular termite inspections are essential, especially in Brisbane’s termite-prone climate.
What should I do if I see signs of termites?
If you notice signs of termites, avoid disturbing the area and contact Allure Pest Solutions immediately. Our licensed Brisbane & Sunshine Coast technicians will carry out a thorough termite inspection and recommend a treatment plan to stop the infestation and prevent further damage.
