Discovering termites in your house can be alarming, but acting promptly is crucial to prevent further damage. Here's a step-by-step guide on what to do when faced with a termite infestation.

Avoid disturbing the termites or the affected area more than necessary. Termites may relocate to another part of your home if their current location is disturbed, making them harder to find.

Resist the urge to spray termites with aerosol or burn them with fire. These methods can be ineffective and may even exacerbate the infestation by causing termites to scatter to other areas of your home.

Consider using damp newspaper as a temporary measure to attract and trap termites. Newspapers contain cellulose, which is attractive to termites, and when dampened, they become even more appealing. This method can help localize termite activity, making it easier to treat the infestation effectively.

Take close-up photographs and videos of the termites, especially the soldier termites, to assist pest control professionals in identifying the species and planning an effective treatment strategy.
