ANAHEIM, CA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the autumn months approach, experts are warning Orange County homeowners to be vigilant about termite infestations, particularly drywood termites, which are expected to swarm in the area from October to December 2025 in record numbers this year due to the weather patters. With the ideal conditions for these pests to thrive, residents should be ready for prompt action.

People should know that drywood termites are notorious for causing significant damage to wooden structures, often going unnoticed until the damage becomes severe. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites can live within the wood they infest, requiring different methods for detection and treatment.

As fall sets in, conditions will become even more favorable for drywood termite swarming, particularly when temperatures drop at night and humidity levels rise. It’s essential for homeowners to remain alert to the signs of these destructive pests during this period. Some key indicators include:

1. Swarmers: One of the most visible signs of a drywood termite infestation is the appearance of swarmers. These are winged reproductive termites that emerge in search of mates and new locations to establish colonies. Homeowners may notice these insects inside or around their homes, particularly during warm days following rainfall.

2. Frass: Drywood termites excrete a fine, powdery waste known as frass, which resembles sawdust. This material can often be found near wooden structures or within galleries in infested wood. The presence of frass is a telltale sign that an infestation is nearby.

3. Mud Tubes: While less common with drywood termites compared to their subterranean counterparts, some drywood termite species may create mud tubes for shelter. These tubes typically appear as small, pencil-sized structures made of soil, wood, and saliva, which can help indicate an infestation.

4. Damaged Wood: Homeowners should inspect wooden structures for visible signs of damage. This includes hollowed-out areas, buckling, or crumbling wood. Tapping on infested wood may produce a hollow sound, further signaling the presence of drywood termites.

5. Bubble or Blister Effects: Homeowners should look for areas on their wooden surfaces that seem to bubble or blister. This phenomenon may signal that termites are actively consuming the wood from beneath.

While the prospect of record termite infestations are eminent, prompt action can effectively mitigate the damage and other risks. Homeowners are encouraged to work with licensed pest control professionals to conduct thorough inspections, particularly if any signs of drywood termites are detected. Early detection is crucial to preventing extensive damage and costly repairs.

"Orange County residents are urged to act decisively in light of the predicted increase in drywood termite activity. Routine inspections and proactive management strategies can significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing an infestation." said John Tran, CEO at BugPro Termite and Pest Control Inc.
