The worst part is, most insurance companies do not cover damage caused by termites and if termites were able to damage something structural on your home than rectification costs can sky rocket substantially.

Damaged Timber
If you start to notice damaged timber around your home that feels lightweight, easy to break and pull apart with a hollow feeling to it – this is a strong indication of termites being present in your home.
Physically Seeing Termites
Termites are usually thought to be creatures that will hide so well within your home that you would never see them however, if you look along fence lines, in old tree stumps around your property you may typically see them.
Termite Tracks
Termite tracks look like dirt/mud casing tunnels that they build to provide protection from predators so that they can safely move around. If they are not underground than there is a good chance that they will build these tracks in humid places around your home.
