Termite Prevention
Reduce Moisture
Address any moisture problems in and around your home by fixing leaks and improving ventilation. Keep the soil around the foundation dry to deter termites. Professional pest control companies may offer advice on reducing moisture levels.
Remove Wood-to-Soil Contact
Avoid using wood mulch around the foundation of your home and keep wooden structures elevated above the ground to minimize wood-to-soil contact. Pest control experts can provide recommendations on preventing termite infestations.
Store Firewood Properly
Keep firewood stacked away from the house and elevated off the ground. Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house to reduce the risk of termite infestations. Consult with a knowledgeable pest control provider for guidance on proper firewood storage practices.
Regular Inspections
Schedule regular termite inspections by a qualified pest control professional to detect any signs of termite activity early. Early detection can prevent extensive damage to your home. Pest control experts offer professional termite inspections and can provide recommendations for termite prevention.
Termite Barriers
Consider installing physical or chemical termite barriers around the perimeter of your home to deter termites. Consult with a professional pest control company to determine the most appropriate termite prevention measures for your property.
