Each year, termites cause around $2 billion worth of damage. If termites infest your home, they can soon cause structural damage that is costly and time-consuming to address. If you notice a sign of termites on your property, you’ll want to promptly call in a pest control professional. Signs of termites include: wood damage, hollow sounding wood, discarded wings, and little mud tubes. At Core Pest Solutions, we provide expert termite removal in the greater Phoenix area. Here’s a look at four tips for reducing the risk of a termite infestation.
Termites love to get into some paper products. If you have old books/magazines/papers stored in your attic or basement, then you might consider getting rid of them, or at least move them into filing cabinets. If they’re stored in boxes, they’ll only be more appetizing to termites.
Termites love areas that are damp and warm with high humidity. If you have any dripping pipes in your home, then they may be creating excellent habitat for termites to set up shop. In parts of your home that tend to accumulate moisture, you can use a dehumidifier as a way to make the area less appealing to termites.
Along your home’s exterior, you’ll want to create at least an eighteen-inch space between its wood and the soil in your garden beds. With such a gap, termites will be less likely to go straight from the soil to your home. For further protection, you could install a stone buffer in the gap.
When you first suspect that termites are infesting your home, you’ll want to contact a pest control expert. At Core Pest Solutions, we’ll show up ASAP to conduct an inspection and get to work on thoroughly taking care of the infestation.
