Prevention

Many termite problems can be prevented. The most important thing to do is deny termites access to food (wood), moisture and shelter.Follow the sugestions below.

  • have at least a 2-inch clearance between the house and planter boxes or soil-filled porches
  • elimiate all wood-to-soil contacts such as trellises, fence posts, stair casings and doorfacings (they can be put on masonary blocks or on treated wood)
  • separate shrubbery from the house to help make it easier to inspect the foundation line
  • use wolmanized wood (pressure-treated wood) so that rain will not rot it
  • seal openings through the foundation
  • remove wood scraps or stumps from around foundations
  • have at least 12"-18" clearance between floor beams and the soil underneath
If you see the following signs in your house, you might have termites:

• sawdust-like droppings
• dirt or mud-like tubes or trails on the structure
• damaged wood members (like window sills)
• swarming winged insects within the structure, especially in the spring or fall
