Termite Signs in Warangal Homes — and How Anti Termite Boards Help

Most people find termites late — when a shutter sags or a finger goes through a wardrobe side. Catching the signs early, and rebuilding with the right board, saves a great deal of money.

Seven early signs of termites

1. Thin mud tubes running up walls or behind furniture
2. A hollow sound when you tap a panel
3. Fine powder or small pellets below furniture
4. Laminate bubbling or lifting for no clear reason
5. Doors and drawers that suddenly jam
6. Discarded wings near windows after the first rains
7. Tiny pin holes on plywood edges

Where to check

• The back and bottom of wardrobes on outer walls
• Under the kitchen sink
• Wooden door and window frames
• Ground-floor skirting and store rooms
• Cartons and old books stored on the floor

What to do if you find them

Do not spray household insecticide and close the door — that only scatters the colony. Call a licensed pest control service to treat the walls and soil. Remove badly damaged panels rather than patching over them.

Rebuild with anti termite board

If you rebuild with the same board, you invite the same problem. Replace damaged furniture with anti termite boards: HDHMR for general furniture and BOILO where there is moisture.

• Dense fibre core that termites do not tunnel through easily
• Moisture resistance, so the board does not turn soft and attractive
• No separate chemical treatment needed on the board

Simple prevention habits

• Keep a small gap between furniture and outer walls where possible
• Fix leaks quickly, especially in bathrooms sharing a wall with a wardrobe
• Do not store wood scrap or cartons against walls
• Inspect once before every monsoon
