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
