There are several signs of a termite infestation you should look out for:
As termites consume wood, they can cause wooden fixtures to warp, leading to difficulties in opening or closing windows and doors. When termites swarm, they shed their wings, which may be found near windowsills, light fixtures, or other areas where they are attracted to light. Termites build mud tubes to travel between their nest and food source. These tubes are typically brown or gray and can be found along walls, foundations, or other surfaces. Termites feed on wood, causing significant damage over time. Look out for wooden structures that sound hollow when tapped or have a honeycomb-like appearance. Termite droppings, also known as frass, resemble tiny wood-colored pellets. They may be found near termite tunnels or other areas infested with termites. Inspect the interior of your rental property. Pay close attention to areas where there is wood, such as baseboards, windowsills, door frames, and wooden furniture.
