Question By: Every homeowner is at risk from termites. These wood-eating insects, often known as white ants, eat cardboard and paper and any other cellulose-containing materials. On the evolutionary scale, termites and cockroaches are closely related. Termites are active every single day of the year. Australian homes are damaged to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars each year by termites. One in three Australian homes may experience termite damage at some point, which is more destructive than fires, storms, and floods put together.
There are various ways to prevent termites from infesting your home in the first place.
• Keep your house dry
Termites need moisture to survive, so keeping your home dry will help keep them at bay.
The best way to do this is by immediately fixing any leaks or other sources that could cause moisture and water-soaked areas.
• Seal openings and cracks
Seal any openings or cracks that may offer termites access to your home using cement, grout, or caulk.
