How to keep your home safe from termites during construction and after

When building, renovating, or buying a home, termites are the biggest threat to property and personal belongings. Termites are incredibly destructive and they’re capable of causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage if you’re not careful. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to keep your home safe from termites during construction and after the project has been completed.

The signs of a termite infestation

There are a few signs that you may have a termite infestation:

• Ø  Seeing wings near doors or windows - these are reproductive termites looking for a new place to start a colony
• Ø  Mud tubes on the exterior of your home - these are used by termites to travel between their nest and food source
• Ø  Wooden structures that sound hollow when tapped
• Ø  Paint that is blistering or peeling
• Ø  Frequent occurrences of swarms of flying insects in or around your home
• Ø  Tiny holes in wood surfaces
• Ø  Sawdust near wood surfaces

What can be done before construction begins 

Termites are inevitable, but here are some tips for ensuring that you stay protected against them!
