There are certain types of wood that aren't as attractive to termites, which can help keep your home safe. Treating your wood with preservatives can curb the growth of decay, fungi, and rot, ensuring termites will be less interested in consuming your home. It is also possible for the wood used in your home's construction to influence how interesting your property is to the local pest population. While the pests love regular timber, they are less likely to be interested in trees such as redwoods and yellow cedars, as well as the non-living central core of trees known as heartwood. Depending on your needs, however, the compromise these woods present in terms of durability may be untenable. By using composite lumber, such as a combination of plastics and wood fibres, you'll be left with a durable material that termites can't eat, which might be a better choice. Building a home is a complicated venture, but you should consider how termites will regard the materials used in the construction.
