3 Termite prevention methods to protect your home in Miami
We've received several reports of termite infestation in the suburb of Miami. They can be found on the ground eating dead wood, under a rock, or worse behind the walls of a house. When we see termites nowadays, we seem not to worry sometimes because we rely too much on termite treatments which are truly effective. But most of us don't want to spend a vast amount of money on home refurbishments and treatment. As the saying goes, 'Prevention is better than the cure', that's certainly the case when dealing with destructive termite species. Well, this one is for you. We've prepared 3 termite prevention methods you want to apply to protect your home from termite infestation.
Preventing moisture and water leaks
Termites love moisture and water leaks. They cling to it in order for them to survive. They use moisture and stay in areas with water leaks to avoid loss of moisture from their bodies. Fix those leaky pipes or drainage outlets before termites enter your house.
Avoid timber structures in direct contact with the ground
Wood is the main source of food for termites. When footings, deck and other timber-made materials connected to your home are in direct contact with the ground, expect termites to use it as their highway to your house. Concreting and a clearance of 75 mm between the ground and timber footing can help.
Regular Inspections
Obviously one of the best ways you can do is to consult a termite expert. This early action will help you ensure that your home is safe and protected from any kinds of termites.
