Termites in your furniture?

The signs are quiet — here’s how to catch them before the next shelf goes.

Sign 1

Hollow-sounding wood

Tap the panel — if solid wood sounds papery or hollow, termites may already be eating it from the inside out.

Sign 2

Mud tubes on the wood

Thin brown mud tunnels along legs, backs and joints are how termites travel — a clear signal to stop and inspect.

Sign 3

Powder and tiny holes

Fine sawdust-like frass and pinhole exits under furniture mean an active colony — not just old damage.

Why DIY fails

Sprays only hit the surface

Shop sprays kill what you see; the colony lives deep in the wood. Professional injection reaches it — and protects the piece.

The payoff

Save it, don’t bin it

Caught early, most wooden furniture can be treated and kept — far cheaper than replacing wardrobes and beds.
