What To Know About Subterranean Termites
Termite Awareness Week
Subterranean Termites are thought to be the most damaging of the termite species. With the ability to build unique “mud tubes,” they protect themselves as they travel to reach their food source. Using their scissor like jaws they chew through wood all day, every day. Subterranean Termites can be found in every state except for Alaska. These destructive termites are common pest to Riverside and San Diego County. Cities from Menifee, and hemet, on into Oceanside have their fair share of termite infestations through out the year. Having a Termite Service Contract is something that home, and business owners should greatly consider if they live in an area where termites are in high volume.
Places that contain high humidity levels are vulnerable to Subterranean Termite activity.
Ways To Avoid Subterranean Termite Damage
Avoiding water accumulation near the home’s foundation is a way to reduce the probability of an infestation.
Clear out rain gutters, divert water away from a structure.
Steer clear of keeping wood scraps or lumber in the yard.
Keeping a one inch gap between the wood and soil is KEY in Subterranean Termite prevention. Eliminate wood and soil contact.
Termite Service Contracts help keep up annually on termite infestations, and actively prevent termite problems from happening.
