2. There are small holes in your drywall or wood

If you notice any small holes in your drywall or wood, don’t make the mistake of thinking that’s normal, because it’s not, and these signs could indicate a major problem.

Even if these holes are small, such as 1/8 inch in diameter, these small dot groupings could tell you that your home is the victim of a termite infestation.

Flying termites are quite annoying insects, and they chew exit holes through your drywall to let their younger ones get out and escape, then other termites fill those tiny holes with a substance they obtain from mixing their own feces with wood fiber.

Long story short, if there are any small holes in your drywall or wood, don’t waste any more time and call the exterminator! It’s an emergency!
