  • Store firewood properly: Keep firewood away from your home and off the ground, and make sure to inspect it for signs of termites before bringing it inside.
  • Use termite-resistant materials: Consider using materials that are naturally resistant to termites, such as concrete, metal, or pressure-treated wood.
  • Seal cracks and gaps: Seal any cracks or gaps in your foundation, walls, or roof to prevent termites from entering your home or building.
  • Maintain your landscaping: Trim back any bushes or plants that are touching your home or building, and make sure to keep your yard well-maintained to prevent termite nesting.
  • Conduct regular inspections: Have your property inspected by a professional pest control agency on a regular basis to detect any signs of termite activity early on.
