Termites can be a major problem for any property owner. While they can be difficult to detect, they can cause major damage to your property if they are left untreated. Termites are attracted to moist wood, so it is important to keep your property dry and free of moisture.
Homeowners can help in reducing the chance of a termite attack on their property with some simple ideas. If you want to prevent termites you can do so, by making your home “termite unfriendly” which can help you avoid damage from these pesky white ants.
There are a few other things that you can do around your home to prevent termites from damaging your property.
Easy ways to avoid a Termite Infestation
- Get regular termite inspections at your home, especially if you do have a lot of wood used to build your home
- Remove any unnecessary wood around your home
- Store possessions in plastic containers, instead of cardboard boxes
- Keep your roof in good condition to avoid access to your home
- Prevent moisture or water leaks in your home
- Declutter your home of any old cardboard boxes, magazines, newspapers
- Reduce soil touching parts of your home, so avoid gardens that directly touch your property
