Termite Prevention Around Your Home In Lousiana

Methods to help prevent termites from damaging your home include:
Receiving regular, typically annual, termite inspections from a qualified expert.
Working with your pest control professional to address conditions around your home, such as excess moisture and wood-to-ground contact, which can be conducive to termite activity.
Determining what preventative termite treatments, direct wood treatment, bait and monitoring systems, etc. will be most effective based on your home's construction and signs of activity around your home and neighborhood.

How Can You Help Prevent Subterranean Termite Infestations?
Remove Access
Seal gaps around water and gas lines where they enter your home to help eliminate entry points.
Wood-to-ground contact is a common access point for subterranean termites seeking entry into your home. Where possible, try to reduce wood-to-ground contact. In addition to removing this highway from your home, you also can treat wood with termiticide to make it unattractive to termites.
Reduce Food Sources
Throw out extra cellulose materials around your house, such as in crawlspaces. Replace landscaping mulch with cellulose-free alternatives or move it back at least six inches from your foundation.
Make sure wooden siding is at least six inches above the ground.
Reduce Excess Moisture
Make sure water does not pool around the foundation of your home or on your roof.
Address moisture problems in crawlspace areas.
Fix leaky plumbing, faulty gutters, and air conditioner condensation lines that may be dripping.
