Termite Control: How to Prevent Termites from Invading your Home

  • Home maintenance: Keep a good watch on the exterior condition of your home’s siding and windows. Check for leaks and cracks often and repair them promptly when needed.
  • Monitor moisture near your foundation: Keeping the ground near your foundation dry will decrease the likelihood of termites because subterranean termites like moisture. Make sure you have drain spouts and rain gutters keeping condensation away and keep your sprinkler heads pointed away from your home.
  • Keep plants trimmed and away from foundation: Shrubbery should be kept at least 1 foot away from the exterior wall of your home in order to allow proper airflow so that damp areas can dry and so that problems with your foundation can be more easily discovered.
  • Crawlspace moisture control: Our team offers crawlspace moisture control and prevention. Our dehumidifiers and vapor barriers and other moisture control strategies will make your home better protected against termites.
