Termite Awareness Week 2017

In observance of termite awareness week GGA Pest Management offers the following termite prevention tips:

• Divert water away from your home’s foundation by installing properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks.
• Reduce humidity in crawl spaces with proper ventilation. 
• Trim vines, hedges and other vegetation to prevent them from blocking vents.
• Remove old form boards, grade stakes, tree trunks and roots near a building, as they may attract termites.
• Maintain an 18-inch gap between soil and any wood portions of your home.
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house and 5 inches off the ground. Check it for pests before bringing it indoors.
• Routinely inspect the foundation of your home for signs of termite damage.
