routine termite inspections and installing termite baiting system around your
home can help to reduce termite infestations. However, every homeowner plays a
major role in reducing the risks of termites from their homes. Here are a few
tips to help you reduce termite attacks to your home.
Reduce Moisture
One
of the major contributors to many termite infestations is moisture. Termites
love moisture and they will thrive where there is lots of moisture. This is
because termites need their bodies to be moisturized for them to survive.
Therefore, you should take the time to eliminate moisture from your home by
fixing any leaking pipes and ensuring groundwater drainage is flowing away from
your house. Pest
control Newcastle companies can help you know the areas to eliminate
moisture from your home.
Remove Any Access Points
Termites
gain entry to your home through cracks and holes. Therefore, you should seal
any holes or cracks to eliminate access points for termites. You can achieve
this by also cutting any overgrown branches touching the roof of your home.
Branches may serve as a pathways that leads termites to your home. Inquire from
commercial pest control Australia
firms about any other access points that you can eliminate to keep termites off
your home.
Eliminate Potential Food Sources
Termites
will thrive in areas where they can find food sources easily. Therefore, when
you eliminate or reduce their food sources, you reduce the chances of them
attacking your home. The common food for termites is cardboard and wood. This
is why you should avoid wood-to-ground contact since it is the entry point for
termites to enter into your house. You can avoid the entry of termites by
avoiding storing wood or cardboards around the house. You should store your
wood and cardboards away from the ground and away from your main house to
prevent termite infestation.
If you want to ensure your home is free from termites, ensure that you get a routine inspection. You should also get a pre purchase termite inspection if you are planning to buy a new home. This way, any signs of termites in your home will be eliminated within the shortest time possible and you will enjoy living a termite-free home.
