Termite Prevention

To prevent termites in your lawn and garden, remove rotting wood debris, maintain a gap between mulch and your foundation, and ensure proper drainage to eliminate the moisture they crave.

Preventative measures are significantly cheaper than reactive repairs because they involve a predictable one-time setup fee rather than the combined cost of emergency eradication and structural restoration.

You can prevent termites during construction by using pressure-treated wood, installing physical barriers like stainless steel mesh, and treating the soil before pouring the foundation.

Though not always effective, natural termite prevention involves using physical sand barriers, applying orange or cedar oil to wood, and introducing beneficial nematodes to your soil.

You should have your home professionally inspected for termites at least once a year to detect early signs of activity before costly damage occurs.
