[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"Termites tend to swarm once a year. Different species may do so at different times. This event occurs during the spring months, when the winged adult male termites leave their nests in search of a new home. Swarming occurs during the daytime when the temperature reaches 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.  While the sight of thousands of termites buzzing through the air is alarming, the insects do not cause any direct harm to humans or pets during this time. However, seeing a swarm near your home can be a strong signal that you might soon have a termite infestation. Even if just a few of the swarming termites remain behind, they may be enough to start a new colony and cause significant damage. Contact a pest control company as soon as you notice nearby swarming activity to protect your home from these unwanted guests.","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Swarming subterranean termites may initially establish their new colony in your yard. As the colony matures and expands, the insects may progress closer to your house and begin taking up residency in its wooden beams and planks. From this point, they can destroy the structure of your home in five or six years if left unchecked.  Formosan termites work their mischief even faster. They reproduce at such a high rate that they are sometimes capable of ruining a home in as little as one year. This alarming timeframe underscores how essential it is to address the presence of termites as early as possible to avoid the worst outcomes.","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"If you have a termite bond, the pest control company that issued it may bear responsibility for damage caused during the contract period. Their liability depends on whether they fulfilled the terms of the bond, like performing annual inspections and treatments.  The previous homeowners who sold you the house may also share liability if they were aware of the termites but failed to disclose it. In some instances, you may be able to pursue legal action against them for fraudulently concealing the issue.  An experienced attorney can help determine the parties at fault and hold them legally and financially accountable for the destruction termites have inflicted on your home.","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","name":"Top signs of termite damage in Alabama","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer"},"name":"What Months Do Termites Swarm in Alabama?","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Much Time Does It Take for Termites to Cause Damage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Who Can Be Liable for My Termite Damage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#Question2"}],"@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Top Signs of Termite Damage in Alabama","item":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/blog\/top-signs-of-termite-damage\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
