Hidden Invaders

By:Trevor Russell


Although termites are small in size, they have big appetites, annually eating away at American homes to the tune of $5 billion. Unfortunately, most homeowners' policies don't cover the damage they leave behind.



To protect your home, here are some tips from experts:



• Don't delay fixing roof or plumbing leaks. These leaks can allow termites to survive above- ground and in your home.



• Eliminate wood-to-soil contact around your foundation and remove any wood debris from around your home.



• Don't let mulch or soil touch your home's siding. It makes termite access easier.



• Maintain adequate ventilation in crawl spaces and avoid storing items there.



• Have your home inspected by a trained professional annually.



Terminix is the nation's largest pest control provider. For more information about termites and other pests, visit terminix.com.



Termites can slide into homes through openings as thin as a sheet of paper. Once inside, they eat furniture, wallpaper and even books.
