Found a sudden pile of these winged bugs and loose wings on the floor near my front door this morning. They look sort of like flying ants but the body looks straight. Is my house in trouble?

5. Signs Your Home May Already Have A Hidden Termite Infestation

In addition to finding swarmers or their wings, other signs of a termite infestation include mud tubes on exterior walls, wooden structures that sound hollow when tapped, and damaged wood that is soft and easily punctured.

Frass, or termite droppings, near wooden structures is another indicator of an infestation. If you notice any of these signs, it’s likely that termites have been active in your home for some time and immediate action is required to prevent further damage.
