A thriving garden should signal growth, color, and life. It should not signal structural danger. Yet the soil and mulch that nourish flowers and shrubs can also create the perfect front door for termites. These insects do not charge in dramatically. They work quietly, steadily, and with purpose. Catching their early signs around garden beds can save thousands of dollars and endless frustration.
Garden beds sit right against foundations in many homes, and that close contact gives termites exactly what they want: moisture, food, and shelter. The great news? Termites leave clues. The key lies in knowing how to spot them before real damage sets in.
