Quick answers
TermiteHQ homepage FAQ
What should I do if I see termite mud tubes?
Take photos, avoid disturbing the area, and schedule a licensed termite inspection so the activity and treatment context can be confirmed.
Can TermiteHQ replace a professional termite inspection?
No. TermiteHQ is educational. Structural risk, treatment, pesticide, fumigation, and legal/reporting decisions require qualified local professionals.
Why does termite species matter?
Different species behave differently. Correct identification affects inspection priorities, treatment options, and prevention recommendations.
