Termite Damage to Trees | Baton Rouge Tree Care

These trees can appear healthy from the outside, yet are an accident waiting to happen. Have a certified arborist inspect your trees every year.
Picture of termite infested tree core
This is a core I took out of sweet gum that we had just removed. From the outside the tree looked fine other than around the base it was developing some odd cavities. I knew the tree had termites from the trails left moving up the bark.
Look how many are on this piece. This piece is only 3"x 3" big.

This is the damage they cause. From the inside, outward. Devastating to the tree!

Ouch. That could have led to serious issues for the owner. Good catch.

Hiring this kind of services can help prevent these problems. You can decide to cut down the tree or have them removed somewhere else in your backyard.

They can cause so much damage to the tree for you to not even notice it

That's the epitome of a tree devastated by termite damage. To the average person, you probably couldn't tell it was damaged from the inside out. Unfortunately, that tree is dead and weak and presents such a safety hazard... not to mention the wood-destroying pests that can migrate into your home and chew away at your studs... Thanks for the vivid image.

You should always look out for termites, especially if u have trees in your garden. If they get inside the house its game over. Thanks for sharing!
