Here are the 3 things you can do to reduce the chance of having a Termite Infestation!

termite damage imageIt is often said around the South, it isn’t if you will have Termites but when… We understand that termites happen. But, maybe these 3 things will help reduce the chance of you having them happen to your home.

1. Don’t Invite Termites In

Mulch looks great, if you must use it but keep it low; at least 3-5 inches below siding and windows is good rule of thumb. Remove dead trees, shrubs and branches near your home’s foundation. Keep all live trees and bushes from touching your home. This reduces a free super highway to the inside.

2. Keep Moisture Away

The humidity in the air is not something we can control. Excess moisture from a/c units, pools and drainage tubes are all manageable. Promptly repair and/or replace leaky air conditioning tubes. Water is the lifeline for all living creatures and termites are no exception. A leaking a/c tube will provide the water need for termites to thrive and usually a/c units are right next to your home. Your rain drains should have tubes or tracks to divert water away from your home. Any standing water should be monitored, drained or otherwise handled to keep termites and mosquitos away.
