Protecting Your Property Against Termites, Rodents, Cockroaches, and Other Insects

To protect your property from termites, you should regularly inspect your home and always try to ensure no rotting wood, mud tubes, or any visible termite presence around your home. Although at the time, getting rid of rotting wood may seem a bit annoying, when you think about the cause you are doing it for, you will gladly give some of your time to get it away from your home.

1. Stagnant water and moisture are major sources of food for termites, so make sure that you have dried all moisture and diverted away from any water from your household through the gutters to prevent the growth of termites. Like all other living beings, Termites cannot survive without water, so they have no ground to grow if you cut down the sources.

2. Make sure that there is no firewood or lumber stacked near your home. Some properties use wood as a means of staying warm during the winter, and although this is a great idea sometimes, it can backfire, especially if the woods have moisture on them. Ensure that you keep all the firewood at a safe distance from your home to ensure no termite infestations are coming to you soon.

3. You can also remove all of the old building wood, discarded fencing or ground stakes that may be located around your house. They are unusable anymore and can also trigger a termite infestation, so there is absolutely no point in still keeping them there.
