Common Signs of Termite Infestation
Signs of Termite Activity in Austin Homes
Mud Tubes
Subterranean termites build pencil-thin mud tubes to travel between their colony and food sources. These tubes are often found on walls, foundation slabs, or crawl spaces.
Swarming Termites
Winged termites, or “swarmers,” are a sign of a mature colony nearby. In Austin, they’re most commonly seen in spring, often around windows, doors, or lights.
Discarded Wings
After swarming, termites shed their wings – often found in piles on windowsills, entryways, or around light fixtures. This is a strong indicator that termites may be inside your home.
Hollow or Damaged Wood
Termites eat wood from the inside out, so if it sounds hollow when tapped or crumbles easily, it could mean termite activity beneath the surface.
Buckling Paint or Drywall
Termite damage behind walls can cause bubbling or buckling paint, warping drywall, or signs that mimic water damage – especially around baseboards or door frames.
Visible Termites During Remodeling
In many Austin homes, active termites are discovered when drywall is removed or studs are exposed during renovations. If you see live termites, it’s time for immediate treatment.

What types of termites are common in Central Texas?
The most common termites in Austin and Central Texas are subterranean termites, which live underground and are drawn to wood and moisture. These pests can enter through tiny cracks in your foundation and silently damage your structure over time.
What is the best treatment for termites?
At J&J Pest Control, we typically recommend Termidor® liquid treatments for long-lasting protection or the Exterra® baiting system for targeted, environmentally sensitive control. After a free inspection, we’ll help determine the best option for your home’s layout and level of infestation.
How much does termite treatment cost?
The cost of termite control depends on factors like the size of your home, type of treatment, and severity of the infestation. While we can provide general quotes over the phone for many services, termite treatment always includes a free on-site inspection to ensure accuracy.
How can I prevent termites in the future?
To prevent termites, eliminate moisture near your foundation, fix leaky plumbing, and avoid stacking firewood near your home. Regular inspections and professional termite monitoring can help catch activity early and save you money on repairs.
