Termites are mostly active in the summer, although a small number are active year-round.  If you’re seeing dead wood, dampness, or piles of sawdust around your home in spring or summer, have your home inspected by a professional termite exterminator.  Another red flag is the presence of small piles of dark brown or white powder on walls or wood trim.  That’s a good indication that termites are feeding on that area and will soon destroy the wood.
