Why Early Detection Matters Termites can damage wooden furniture, flooring, door frames and other timber structures while remaining hidden. Singapore’s warm, humid climate creates favourable conditions for termite activity. Termites can enter properties through soil, small gaps and areas with moisture. Moisture from leaking pipes and poor drainage Wooden materials in contact with soil Cracks and gaps around walls and foundations Damp and poorly ventilated spaces Hidden termite colonies that may go unnoticed 5 COMMON SIGNS OF TERMITE ACTIVITY 01 Mud tubes Thin mud tunnels along walls, foundations or wooden structures. 02 Hollow- sounding wood Wood may sound empty or weak when gently tapped. 03 Discarded wings Small piles near windows, doors or lights may indicate termite swarm activity. 04 Damaged or warped wood Doors, window frames and furniture may become weak or distorted. 05 Bubbling paint or small droppings Unusual surface changes or pellet-like droppings may indicate termite activity. Do not ignore early warning signs. Arrange a professional inspection if you suspect termites. T H E R E S P O N S E HOW TO PREVENT AND CONTROL TERMITES PRACTICAL PREVENTION TIPS Repair leaking pipes and reduce moisture. Keep stored wood away from direct soil contact.
