Prevention Tips

To assist in preventing termite infestation in your building, please follow these tips:

  • Do not place dirt or landscaping within 6 inches of the exterior foundation and 2 to 3 inches below the first brick for a thorough visual inspection and complete chemical barrier.
  • Keep all ivy and plants from growing next to or on the exterior foundation.
  • Avoid stacking firewood or other woods within 25 feet of a home without a metal base or stand.
  • Avoid using mulch for landscaping neat the exterior. Mulch needs to be 6-12 inches from the foundation.
  • Keep surrounding dirt around your home moisture free. Re-locate or re-direct sprinkler systems that wet within 8-12 inches of the structure and maintain gutters to prevent leaks and ensure proper drainage.
  • Maintain the chemical barrier protecting your home. Annual termite renewals should be completed when due and a complete ground barrier treatment should be applied every 5 years to maintain efficacy.
  • Repair any pipe leaks or roof leaks as quickly as possible and clear gutter clogs to prevent water build-up.
  • Watch for termite "mud" trails up and on the slab or piers of the building and alert your termite professionals at the first sighting.
  • During swarming season: Keep your outside lights off in the evening.

To assist in preventing general pest infestations, please follow these tips:

  • Roaches
    • Thoroughly clean kitchen daily including vacuuming.
    • Clean kitchen appliances and cabinets regularly.
    • Limit food consumption to one room of the house.
