How furniture gets infested
Drywood termites can infest furniture directly through small cracks or joints, while subterranean termites usually reach furniture that sits against a wall or floor connected to an already-infested structure, using the furniture as an extension of their food source.
Warning signs specific to furniture
Small pinholes in wood surfaces, a hollow sound when tapped, sagging drawer joints, and fine, sawdust-like frass near the base of a piece are all signs worth checking, especially for furniture that has not been moved or inspected in years.
Simple habits that reduce risk
Avoid placing wooden furniture directly against damp walls, keep furniture legs off bare soil (for outdoor pieces), and periodically move heavy furniture away from walls to check the wall and furniture surface behind it.
If furniture damage is found
Isolated furniture damage without wall or foundation activity can sometimes be treated locally, but it is worth confirming there is no connection to a larger structural infestation first. A free inspection can check both the furniture and the surrounding structure together.
