Wanting to protect your home is a normal, understandable desire. Luckily, it's easy to avoid attracting termites to your property in Laceys Creek.

Termites will generally build their colonies around sources of food. Because termites like soft or rotting wood, they also tend to like damp and moist places. As a result, large collections of wood, such as piles of firewood or scrap wood, pose a threat. To help protect your home, you'll want to move these piles 6 metres away from your house, and leave them at least 30cm off the ground. Rotted stumps and dead trees can also attract termites, while any tree limbs or leaves touching the roof of your home can allow termites easy acces to the large supply of timber and wood used in the construction of your house. If your gutters are clogged, moisture can easily seep into the wood of your home, providing termites with an easy supply of damp or rotted wood. However, so long as you account for these problems, you'll be able to easily keep your Laceys Creek home termite-free.
