DAMPWOOD TERMITES
PEST CONTROL
Therefore, it is necessary to take the proper steps to protect your homes from termites and get rid of them.
Diet: Dampwood termites like to feed on very moist wood.
Habitat: Because they need lots of moisture, dampwood termites usually live in damp, dying wood or in houses with leaking plumbing that keeps the wood wet.
Impact: Dampwood termites do not carry disease and don’t usually bother buildings because there is not enough water in the wood.
Prevention:
- Make sure all water drains away from your house.
- Replace any damp or damaged wood on the outside of your home.
