Termites Are Silent Destroyers

One of the greatest hazards any homeowner faces is termites. They do more damage than fires, storms, and earthquakes combined.
Contrary to what many homeowners think, homeowner’s insurance does NOT cover termite damage, so annual inspections are critical and far less costly than termite treatments.

10 Best Ways to Best Protect Your Home Against Termites:

• Above all, schedule an annual termite inspection
• Clean clogged gutters and downspouts
• Trim bushes and shrubs away from the house
• Store firewood away from the house
• Make sure exterior finishes are at least four inches from the ground
• Keep watch for bubbling paint, crumbling dry wood and tiny holes in walls
• Seal all cracks in the foundation or utility openings
• Monitor damp areas inside the home
• Eliminate faulty or leaky plumbing
• Watch for swarming termites and mud tubes over exposed exterior surfaces
