Why kitchens are a risk zone
Sink leaks, dishwasher connections, and general daily moisture create damp conditions around wooden cabinetry and flooring, while the wood itself provides the food source — a combination termites are naturally drawn to.
Common trouble spots
Under-sink cabinets where minor plumbing leaks often go unnoticed for months, the wall behind a refrigerator or dishwasher where moisture can accumulate, and skirting boards along kitchen walls are all worth periodic checks.
Simple prevention habits
Fix minor plumbing leaks under sinks promptly rather than letting them persist, avoid leaving standing water on wooden countertops or shelving, and periodically check behind large appliances for hidden moisture buildup.
When to get it checked
If you notice a musty smell under the sink, swollen cabinet wood, or any small holes in cabinetry, it is worth a proper inspection rather than just replacing the affected panel and hoping the underlying cause is gone.
