Termite Warning Signs: The 12-Point Quick Check

Twelve things you can check in fifteen minutes, with a torch and nothing else. The fastest way to find out whether the quiet damage in your house is termites — before it becomes a five-figure repair.

What's inside

• Three things never to do after a finding, and why each one costs you money

Who it's for

Any homeowner who has seen something odd — a few wings on a sill, a soft baseboard, insects at a window — and wants a straight answer today rather than a sales visit.
