you detect an infestation on your own. Look out for <strong>the</strong> mud tunnels<br />
which are usually located inside <strong>the</strong> house. They are searched by<br />
<strong>termites</strong> for food <strong>and</strong> water. Ano<strong>the</strong>r sign is to look out for swarms or<br />
