Chew, chew, chew and keep chewing. That’s the motto for termites and they don’t stop until they’ve chewed their way right through your walls. Or doorways. Or even chairs, wooden units, cabinets or other items of furniture. Basically, they will ruin your furniture unless you identify this termite issue soon. Knowing how to get rid of termites is of utmost importance, as they can cause severe loss and damage to property, especially wooden items. Moisture is one of the biggest threats!
As we’ve mentioned above, get rid of all sources of moisture in the house. This includes getting rid of any cardboard boxes, stacks of wood and other similar items in and around the house.
You can caulk up and seal all holes and entry points in doors, windows, and other entrances. You can do this yourself or even by the help of a carpenter. It will also kill existing termites in these holes.
In gardens, people generally tend to use straw and compost and leaves as mulch, and these cellulose compounds attract termites when wet. Make sure mulch is nowhere close to your house. Also, use alternate materials such as gravel or rubber.
While they prefer cellulose and similar fabrics, clothing can also be a good home to termites, so make sure you pick up your piles of clothing and store them in right places, rather than just lying around the house.
Termites make tunnels through wooden furniture and other wooden items in your homes. Further, they chew up the wood from within, leaving it spongy, papery and hollow. Check your furniture and walls thoroughly to know what has been affected already.
Knowing how to get rid of termites on your own is handy but ultimately, it’s the professionals who know best.
