Simple Ways to Fight a Termite Infestation

Dealing with termites in the home is no one’s idea of a good time, so we have put together a few simple tips to help you fight termites this year:

• Keep Up with Yard Work – Believe it or not, staying on top of your yardwork will stop termites from entering your home. Make sure that plants are not touching your home, as they can provide a route for termites.
• Seal Cracks and Holes – We have said it before, but it always worth repeating – seal up any cracks and holes you have in your home exterior. When termites land in your yard, they will take advantage of these openings and start destroying your property.
• Keep Everything Clean – Wiping up counters, vacuuming your carpets, and cleaning out old storage areas is a great way to get rid of termites. These insects thrive in dirty areas. Additionally, it will be easier to see them if you clean regularly.
