Termites need food (cellulose such as wood), moisture and warmth to survive.

Wood building materials in and around homes - from the basement to the crawl space to the attic - can provide the ideal food source for these wood-destroying insects.

Common construction conditions around homes, including areas of insufficient grading that allow puddles to form near the foundation and air conditioning units that create run-off moisture, can offer sufficient moisture for termite colonies.

Through regular inspections, a termite specialist can help identify common hot spots for activity and warning signs for a termite infestation, plus share tips to help keep termites at bay. Termites can fit through cracks as thin as an average business card (1/32 inch) so proper maintenance is crucial to seal up any gaps around the foundation and roof/eaves.
