Some home damage — flooding, plumbing issues, a broken heating system — is easy to spot. Other damage, like mold or poor insulation, can be more difficult to detect. Unfortunately, getting to the source of hard-to-identify home damage can take years and cost thousands of dollars if you don’t recognize key warning signs. This is especially true for a significant, but often overlooked, source of property damage: termite infestations.

Termites cost homeowners upward of $5 billion annually, invading more than 5 million homes each year. Thankfully, by learning to recognize the signs of “conducive conditions” — conditions that termites prefer when invading homes to look for food — you can address the problem before it grows.

Consult the following list to spot six conducive conditions that might exist in your home right now.
