To keep termites away from your property, start by reducing moisture around your home, as termites thrive in damp conditions. Fix leaks, ensure proper drainage, and use dehumidifiers if needed. Keep wood, mulch, and plants away from the foundation, and avoid wood-to-soil contact. Seal cracks in walls and foundations to block entry points. Use termite-resistant or treated wood for construction. Regularly inspect wooden structures for signs of damage. Consider applying a liquid termiticide barrier or installing bait stations around your property. Annual professional inspections are also recommended to detect early signs and apply preventive treatments if necessary. Prevention saves costly repairs.
