Like your home, wooden furniture can also fall prey to termites. Termites feed on the cellulose from ingested wood and over time they can wreak havoc on your home, your furniture, and your peace of mind. They can be found in areas such as:

  • Furniture, especially older furniture and antiques
  • Inside built-in cabinets
  • Door and window frames
  • Baseboards and wooden flooring
  • Exposed beams and wood paneling

Some of the signs of termite infestation include:

  • Swarmers – Winged termites move in small swarms of 10 to 100, and are attracted to light sources such as light fixtures and windows. The generally emerge from small openings, called kick holes.
  • Discarded wings – Swarmers shed their wings when they land, and will often leave piles of discarded wing on the inside windowsills, caught up in spider webs, or on the floor.
  • Droppings – Termites leave droppings behind as they feed on wood. The droppings are similar in color to the wood and consist of hard pellets, hexagonal in shape, approximately 1/32-inch in length.
  • Hollow Wood – Even furniture that shows no outward signs of damage will have a hollow sound to it if it has been infested.
