Termites are a significant threat to the structural integrity of homes and buildings, causing billions of dollars in damage each year. In North Texas, termites are a common problem, especially during the summer months when they are most active. Here are three ways to keep your home termite-free this summer:
Regular Inspections: One of the most effective ways to prevent termite infestations is to have your home inspected regularly by a professional. A trained inspector can identify signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes or damaged wood, and recommend treatment options to prevent further damage. We recommend having your home inspected at least once a year.
Reduce Moisture: Termites are attracted to moisture, so reducing the amount of moisture around your home can help prevent infestations. Fix any leaky pipes, faucets, or other sources of water that may be contributing to excess moisture in and around your home. Make sure your gutters are clean and free of debris, and consider installing a dehumidifier in your basement or crawlspace.
Treat Your Soil: Treating the soil around your home with a termite repellent can also help prevent infestations. Professional pest control companies can apply a liquid termiticide to the soil around your home, creating a barrier that termites cannot cross. This treatment should be done by a trained professional to ensure it is applied correctly and safely.
