Signs Of Termite Activity To Watch For Around Your Home
It is possible to stumble upon signs of termites in your yard. You may pick up a dead branch and see tiny, pale-colored insects crawling on the bottom where the branch touched the soil.

Factors That Attract Termites And How To Remove Them
Termites aren't equally attracted to every property. Some factors make some properties more interesting than others. It is best to remove these, whether you have professional termite control products installed around your property or not.
- Remove termite food. Wood sources resting on the soil provide an easy food source for termites. Termites can access food sources like this without revealing themselves. Once inside, they'll start bringing lots of food back to their nest. In response to plentiful food, the queen will produce more workers, and workers may develop into reproductives and create a satellite nest near the food. Keep all wood up off the ground. For example, put dead branches in a plastic or rubber bin, create an elevated platform for campfire wood, and stack objects on plastic pallets in the backyard rather than wood pallets.
- Address wood-to-soil contact on structures. Do you have a deck that has wooden posts that go deep into the ground? Consider putting those posts on concrete so you can see shelter tubes created by subterranean termites. Do you have a wood fence? Consider getting a vinyl fence. Many vinyl products look like real wood but are not food for termites.
- Address moisture. Moisture problems can lead to wood rot, which attracts termites. Damp soil is also an attractant. Subterranean termites are drawn to damp soil because it helps them stay hydrated.
- Seal entry points. Drywood termites get into your home through aerial openings. Use a caulking gun to seal these entry points and keep drywood termites out.
