Of all the different possible pest and insect infestations, one of the most damaging can be termites. If you have a termite infestation that goes untreated, it could end up leading to some pretty significant structural and other challenges. While termites can be challenging to control in certain areas of the country, there are things that you can do to help prevent termites from damaging your property.

Wood to Ground Contact 
Most of the time, a termite infestation will start when termites try to gain access to your home through the base of your property. Because of this, you should make sure that there is no pieces of wood contacting the base of your home. This will give termites less of a place to access your property. You should also be wary of any tree branches or other natural elements that come into contact with your roof of home siding.

Fill in Cracks 
Termites are also able to access your home by going through very small cracks in the foundation, walls, or other elements of your property. Because of this, you should follow all steps necessary to make sure that all of these cracks are properly filled in. When you are looking to fill in the cracks of your property, you should carefully use a material that will fill in the cracks fully while also destroying any infestation that may be starting in these small areas.

Be Diligent 
Similar to any other issue that you notice at your home, addressing a termite inspection early on in the process will help you to prevent it from growing into a more serious problem. If you notice any signs of a termite infestation, you should call a local inspector as soon as possible to get their opinion.

Annual Inspection 
Without a doubt, the most effective thing that you can do to prevent a termite infestation is to have an annual inspection completed. If you live in an area of the country that is susceptible to termite infestations, you should make sure that you have your property fully examined by a licensed professional at least once per year. This professional will be able to carefully examine your entire property to identify whether there are any signs of an infestation. If there are signs of a termite infestation, the inspector will be able to use the right processes to make sure it is handled and taken care of.
