Door and window frames are often among the first structural components termites attack because they contain exposed wood and are frequently affected by small moisture fluctuations. Once a month, gently press around wooden door frames, window trims, and baseboards using the rounded handle of a screwdriver. Watch for:  Soft or spongy wood  Bubbling or peeling paint  Tiny pin-sized holes  Hollow sounds when tapped  Fine mud deposits around joints This simple inspection takes less than 15 minutes but may reveal hidden termite activity months before major structural damage develops.
