Here are just a few of the ways you can help protect your home:
1. Because termites are attracted to moisture,
avoid water accumulation near your home’s
foundation.
2. Divert water away from your home with properly
functioning downspouts, gutters and splash
blocks.
3. Quickly repair any house damage caused by
moisture, such as a roof leak or plumbing leak.
4. Perform routine maintenance on your home,
just as you do on your automobiles.
5. You should routinely caulk, paint and clean
your gutters.
6. Reduce humidity in crawl spaces.
7. Prevent shrubs, vines and other vegetation from
growing over and covering vents and also from
growing on the exterior of your home.
8. Eliminate wood contact with the ground around
your home.
9. Remove any wood or construction debris from
your crawl space or around your home.
