PREVENTION TIPS

Wheather you have just moved into a new home or have been settled in for years, it is important to keep up with termite prevention. Here are some tips to prevent termites from infesting your home:

• Identify and fix all water leaks in your home, both internal and external.
• Remove any brush or heavy growth from around your home.
• Eliminate any standing or pooling water from around your home.
• Store all excess building materials and firewood away from the house.
• Use treated lumber for any wooden structures that will have direct contact with the ground.
• Avoid using mulch near home.
• Never bury waste lumber or wood scraps in your yard.
• Remove any dead tress, old stumps, or roots in your yard.
• Seal any cracks or holes within the foundation of your home.
• Make sure your home is properly ventilated, including attic and internal crawl space areas.
