Don't let termites make a meal out of your home! 🏠 Wood you believe they work 24/7? Stay ahead of the damage for with these tips:
• Eliminate Moisture: Fix leaks in faucets, pipes, and AC units immediately to deprive termites of necessary moisture.
• Seal Your Home: Repair damaged fascia, soffits, and roof shingles. Replace worn weather stripping and loose mortar around foundations and windows.
• Direct Water Away: Ensure gutters, downspouts, and splash blocks properly divert water away from your foundation.
• Inspect Regularly: Check foundations for mud tubes, inspect wood for hollow sounds, and look for bubbling paint.
• Monitor Exterior Wood: Keep a close eye on doorframes, windows, and skirting boards for signs of change.
• Create a Buffer Zone: Maintain at least 18 inches of space between soil and any wood structures.
• Store Firewood Safely: Keep firewood stacked at least 20 feet away from the house.
• Schedule Professional Inspections: Book an annual inspection, as termites are not covered by standard homeowners’ insurance.
