How can I prevent termites?

• Create a crushed rock barrier of at least 12-18 inches between the foundation and any soil or mulch.
• Moisture attracts termites. Eliminate areas of standing water near your home, fix leaky pipes and fixtures.
• Repair leaky air conditioning units that are causing water to pool around your home’s foundation.
• Don’t put off the task of cleaning gutters. Clogged gutters allow rainwater to build up and seep into your home’s roof and walls.
• Do not over-plant shrubbery and other landscaping near your home’s foundation. The sun hitting the soil around your foundation will help to keep it dry.
• Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to limit excess moisture in your home.
• Repair any damage to your home’s foundation, exterior walls, or the roof that could allow termites inside.
• Inspect antique wooden furniture or other wooden items for signs of drywood termites before bringing into your home.
• Outside of your home, eliminate damp or rotting wood that could attract termites to your property. Leaf piles, wood mulch, fallen trees, and tree stumps should be removed.
