Protect Your Home from Termites

Spring is right around the corner, and that means prime termite season as swarmers emerge to mate and establish new colonies, often targeting vulnerable residential properties. Termites can eat a home out from under its owners, often undetected until significant damage has occurred. They chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper 24/7, potentially compromising a home’s structural stability within just a few years. Termites cause an estimated $5 billion worth of property damage annually.

10 Tips for Termite Prevention

Here are actionable steps homeowners can take to prevent termites from infesting their property, as recommended by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA):

Step

1

Eliminate or reduce moisture in and around the home, as termites need moisture to thrive.

Step

2

Repair leaking faucets, water pipes, and exterior AC units.

Step

3

Repair fascia, soffits, and rotted roof shingles.

Step

4

Replace weather stripping and loose mortar around basement foundations and windows.

Step

5

Divert water away from the house through properly functioning downspouts, gutters, and splash blocks.

Step

6

Routinely inspect the home’s foundation for signs of mud tubes, uneven or bubbling paint, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped.

Step

7

Monitor all exterior wood, including windows, doorframes, and skirting boards, for noticeable changes.

Step

8

Maintain an 18-inch gap between soil and any wood portions of your home.

Step

9

Schedule a professional inspection annually, as wood-boring insect damage is not covered by homeowners’ insurance policies.

Step

10

Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.
