By far, the most destructive insects found in South Louisiana are termites. These wood-destroying organisms cost home and business owners in the United States billions of dollars in property damage each year. While termites do not bite or carry diseases, their insatiable hunger for wood and other cellulose-based materials can cause severe damage to the structure of homes and businesses. They are social insects that live in colonies of up to 500,000 individuals and can do a considerable amount of damage to man-made structures over time. Detection is key to termite damage prevention. Keep a lookout for these warning signs of a termite infestation:

​

• Swarming termites (Learn more about this phenomenon).

• Discarded wings of termite swarmers.

• Mud tubes on foundation walls and in basements.

• Timbers that sound hollow.

• Windows and doors that don't open and close properly.

• Floors that feel “squishy” underfoot.

• Bubbling paint.
