The Top Ten Tips for Termite Prevention

1. Keep mulch at least 12 inches from the foundation of your home.
2. Remove all scrap wood and wood debris from around and under your home.
3. Make sure your sprinkler system does not distribute water near the foundation.
4. Keep gutters clear of leaves and debris.
5. Make sure your gutters discharge water at least three feet away from the house.
6. Look for piles of discarded termite wings on window sills, countertops and floors.
7. Look for small piles of wood residue or shavings as well as tiny wood holes, crumbling drywall and sagging doors.
8. Beware of bubbled paint or visible, pencil-sized mud tubes running across concrete or connecting soil to wood.
9. Schedule a termite inspection for your home. Ask for Termidor® , the most effective termiticide on the market. It provides control of subterranean termites in three months or less.
10. Call or e-mail EnviroGuard Inc./Daisy Pest Control for an appointment to inspect your home for termites.
