How Do You Prevent Termites From Spreading in Florida?
The key to avoiding a full-blown termite infestation is to know how to catch the early signs of a problem. This is best done by making your home less attractive to termites and having regular inspections with a professional termite control company.
To prevent termites, get rid of excess moisture in the home by fixing leaky pipes, cleaning up debris, fixing damaged wood, and more. If you already have termites in or around your home, contact a professional termite exterminator right away who can stop the infestation from spreading.
The key to stopping the spread of termites is to learn how to make your home or business less attractive to the pests in the first place. The top five ways to stop the spread of termites are as follows.
Store piles of lumber or firewood away from the foundation of your home, and quickly remove decaying or rotten wood.
Regularly inspect your deck, patio, or outdoor furniture for signs of damage.
Get rid of dead trees and branches from areas surrounding your yard.
Eliminate sources of standing water in or near the home. Quickly fix leaky faucets or broken water pipes.
Ensure your yard has good drainage, avoid excess mulch, and clean out your gutters regularly.
