Tips to Reduce the Likelihood of Termite Infestation
- Maintain landscaped areas a few feet away from the foundation
of the structure.
- Keep firewood stacked away from the structure.
- Keep crawl spaces and basements clear of wood debris and
excess moisture.
- Fix faulty drainage and any plumbing or roof leaks that
cause
moisture to accumulate.
- Routinely check in and around the structure for mud tubes,
discarded termite wings and general signs of termite activity.
- If adding a room or deck to the structure, make sure the
wood
used has been "treated" to discourage termites.
