As one of your largest investments, it's normal to want to protect your home. Avoiding termites in Wavell Heights, thankfully, is simple.

Where they can find food, termites will build nests. As termites prefer soft or rotting wood, they commonly prefer moist, undisturbed spaces. 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. If you have any tree limbs or leaves in contact with the roof of your house, these can allow termites easy egress into your home, while rotted stumps, dead trees, and piles of mulch can also provide attractive sources of food. Any clogs and blockages in your gutters can allow moisture to seep into the wood of your home, providing a succulent treat of moist and rotted wood for any passing pests. Thankfully, by taking the required measures to account for these complications, you'll be able to avoid attracting termites to your Wavell Heights home.
