CONDUCIVE CONDITIONS FOR TERMITES

Eastern Subterranean Termites are a normal and natural insect found in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The job of the termite is to recycle cellulose "wood" back into the earth. In our mountain homes, conducive conditions make our homes more inviting to termites.

• Trees / Foliage

The trees surrounding your home could be providing termites an easy route to your home. Tree roots grow 20 ft or more from the base of the tree and can penetrate the foundations of a home giving termites an opportunity to enter.

• Mulch Beds

Mulch holds moisture and creates an ideal environment for termites. Leaving a few inches gap between the foundation and your mulch makes it harder for termites to find your home.

• Cracks in Foundation

Concrete slabs and foundations does not mean you are safe from termites. Overtime, moisture can cause tiny cracks in the foundation giving termites easy access to the structure.

• Crawl Space / Basement

Moisture occurring naturally in basements and crawl spaces can create an ideal environment for termites.

• Wood to Soil Contact

When wood comes into contact with soil (deck posts or stored firewood) is another way that foraging termites find their way to your home.

• Dense Vegetation

Trimming or removing thick vegetation around your home can help prevent termites.
