What might be an indicator of an effective termite treatment?

An absence of new termite damage is a clear indicator of an effective termite treatment. This means that the treatment successfully eliminated the active termite presence in the area, thereby preventing further damage to the wooden structures in a home. If termites are not causing new damage, it indicates that the barriers or treatments put in place—such as soil treatments, bait systems, or wood treatments—are functioning well to control the termite population.

Indicators like increased termite activity or finding more discarded wings suggest ongoing infestation or activity, which means that the treatment may not be effective. Similarly, a change in soil color could be due to various environmental factors that do not necessarily relate to termite activity or treatment efficacy.
