Here
are a few suggestions to make your home less inviting to termites:
-
Get rid of wood around your home that is not serving a purpose. Remove old form boards, old tree stumps, and wood debris. If you must store firewood near your home, stack it off the ground and don't allow it to lean against the building.
-
Correct moisture problems. Make sure gutters and downspouts are unclogged. Water should be channeled from downspouts away from your foundation. Repair leaking pipes and don't aim sprinklers against your house. Slope soil away from your home. Trim shrubbery blocking any
vents.
- Never allow wood to contact soil.
-
Have us inspect your home occasionally for wood destroying organisms, and the situations listed plus others which make your home more likely
to be attacked.
