Termite Control From Below
Termite control has more to do with what’s under your walls than what’s in them. We all picture the annoying little bugs swarming around the inside of our walls, munching away on the wooden studs inside, but if you really want to control termites, you don’t start with the walls.
Buried deep under your home is something you have probably never seen. We are talking about your foundation. This is where the termites start their attack on your home.
It Comes Down To Your Foundation
Subterranean termites (the most common species in our neighborhoods) need moisture to survive, and they get it from the soil by remaining underground most of the time. Because of this, they have no problem finding your foundation and going underneath your walls, no matter how solid. From there, they search for cracks in the foundation and make their way up to the inner structure of your home.
There are a couple different types of foundation, each with its own level of built-in termite control. The weakest foundation, being prone to cracks, is the simple slab foundation. Whereas if you have a concrete foundation reinforced with rebar, you are in good shape to keep termites out. However, even the best foundations can weaken and crack over time. And since you never see what is under your house, you should have your home checked for termites regularly.
