Termite protection for your home

Let’s face it – battling termites in Arizona can prove to be a long and expensive battle that can result in extensive damages to your home. The professionals here at Budget Brothers understand the importance of termite prevention and are here to help! Here are 4 easy steps you can take to protect your home from termites.

Proactive Home Maintenance

Termite protection begins with proactive home maintenance. In order to thrive, subterranean termites need an incredibly moist environment. By taking a proactive approach to home maintenance, you are taking the first steps in termite protection for your home. 

It’s important to repair any leaking fixtures, pipes, and faucets you may have in and around your home. This will help to remove excess moisture and discourage a termite’s interest. Water-damaged wood in and around your home should be also be replaced.

Control Humidity in Your Home

These water-craving destructive pests are less apt to invade a home with little to no moisture to be found. You can add an extra layer of termite protection to your home by controlling humidity and water leaks. Removing excess moisture from in and around your home, further discouraging termite infestations.

Upgrading to an energy-efficient air conditioning system and adding dehumidifiers can help to control the humidity in your Phoenix home. This helps your family stay cool and comfortable year round while adding an elevated level of termite protection to your home. 

Proper Wood Storage and Protection

Here in Phoenix, subterranean termites are the most common culprits of invasion. These aggressive pests use mud tubes to reach any wood that they found above ground. Another termite species commonly found in Arizona are known as drywood termites. This species of termites pose additional risks because they don’t require as much water in their environment.

That’s why proper wood storage is essential to termite protection for your home. There should be a clearance of at least 18 inches between the soil and all wood areas of your home, as well as, wood storage areas. This significant gap should further discourage termite infestations and protect your home from these aggressively hungry and destructive invaders.
