REMOVE TERMITE ATTRACTANTS

As you might suspect termites, like most vermin, are drawn to food sources like a moth to a flame. Wood and cellulose are a termites favorite foods, so you want make sure that sawdust is cleaned up and any other source of cellulose is bagged and disposed of. Cellulose materials being used in areas like the garden should be treated with pest-repellants to keep away termites, and firewood is best stored away from the home.

PUT UP THE WALLS

This is a very basic step that is often placed at the bottom of many home-owners priority lists. Putting physical barriers will separate your property from termites, and force them into exposed places, making it easier to notice when you have a pending infestation. Putting physical barriers that are inedible to them in the way can force the termites to come back out, searching for another way to get into your home. Chemical treatment of the soil can also serve to help repel termites.

REDUCE MOISTURE AND HUMIDITY

Moisture and humidity are two more factors that boost the opportunity for termites to dwell in your home.
