How can you prevent termite infestations in your NJ home?

There are several things New Jersey homeowners can do to lessen the chance of a termite infestation:

Reduce Access

Many termite infestations result from the structural wood being in contact with soil. This includes wood siding, porch steps, latticework, door or window frames and similar wood elements.

Eliminate Food Sources

Minimize or eliminate the use of wood mulch around the foundation. For termites, mulch is a delicacy. Stack firewood and scrap lumber away from the home.
Don’t store cardboard boxes on the floor of your garage.

Reduce Excess Moisture

Don’t allow moisture such as air conditioner condensation to accumulate near the foundation.
Water should be diverted away from the foundation with properly functioning gutters, downspouts, and splash blocks. Drainage problems increase your risk of termite infestation.
Reduce humidity in basements with a dehumidifier and crawl spaces using a combination of encapsulation, sump pumps, and dehumidifiers.
