No two homes are exactly alike and are uniquely vulnerable
to termite invasion. Termites cause over 5 billion
dollars in property damage in the U.S. annually.
Property damage caused by termites is not covered
under your homeowner’s insurance policy. Understanding
the areas of your home that are vulnerable to a termite
invasion can help you spot the signs of a possible
infestation and get professional
help before additional damage is done.

The
exterior of your home is the termite’s natural
habitat. The exterior of your property contains numerous
termite staging sites. These areas support termite
activity by providing moisture to foraging termites.
Excess moisture causes wood to decay, attracting
even more termites to the source.
• Stumps, dead tree roots, wood piles,
mulch beds
• Wood fences
• Decks and steps
• Sprinklers
• Landscaping timbers
• Mailboxes mounted on wood poles
• Wooden tool and potting sheds |

The perimeter of your home is the termite’s
gateway into the interior of your home. The basic
design and structure of your home can affect its
defense against termites. Termites can gain access
into your home through foundation cracks as small
as 1/64 inch. Changes of grade, including sunken
or elevated slab construction and abutted structures
can provide openings for foraging termites.
• Penetrations through slab or foundation,
including plumbing and utility
services
• Faulty drain lines
• Air conditioning condensation lines
• Abutting slabs and foundation walls
• Raised foundations that extend from soil
to structure
• Built up planter boxes |

The interior of your home provides termites with
access to plentiful supplies of wood and moisture
they need not only to survive but thrive.
• Stress cracks of 1/64 inch in slab
• Plumbing leaks
• Interior expansion joints
• Shower pans
• Bath traps
• All wood members in a structure |
