Preventive Treatments
Homeowners can do their part to help minimize termite infestations by controlling conducive conditions that lead to termite infestations. For example:
- Take care of excessive moisture conditions like plumbing leaks
- Redirect sprinklers away from the home or building
- Repair faulty rain gutters
- Remove unnecessary wood away from the home or building
- Remove wood scraps underneath crawlspaces
- Repair damaged window/door screens
- Repair damaged wood
- Paint or stain exposed wood surfaces
Last but not least, call a qualified termite inspector from Elite1 Termite Control, Inc. and have them perform periodic inspections to outline potential termite issues and/or remedies so your home or building can last as long as this one!
