Termites are often called the "silent destroyers" because they can damage homes without being noticed until it’s too late. In Madurai’s warm and humid climate, houses are especially vulnerable. Here are the top 5 termite-prone areas in local homes that you should watch out for:
Termites thrive on cellulose-rich materials like wood. In Madurai homes, doors and window frames are often the first targets. Cracks, hollow sounds when tapped, and powdery residue are early warning signs.
Termites are attracted to moisture and hidden spaces. Wooden kitchen shelves, cupboards, and storage units often become breeding grounds, especially when located near sinks or damp corners.
Houses with wooden roofs, false ceilings, or supporting beams are highly vulnerable. Termites can weaken structural integrity over time, posing safety risks if not treated early.
Outdoor spaces with wooden furniture, fences, or trees near the house can act as termite entry points. From there, termites slowly spread indoors and attack main structures.
Subterranean termites enter homes through soil and cracks in the foundation. Damp flooring, especially in older Madurai homes, is a hotspot. Regular inspection and soil treatment are crucial for long-term protection.
