Termites
———————————————————————————————
Check your home for termites.
Where to look |
What to look for. |
What to do! |
Sunny window sill |
Many dead termites |
Show then to mom and dad, then
vacuum them up! |
Wood pile located near the house |
Check that they are not crawling
on the house |
Have mom or dad raise the pile
off the ground and move the pile 18 inches away from the house,
while you clean up the dead leaves that are gathered under the
wood pile or between the pile and the house. |
Basement or garage (dark, damp areas-look high and low!)
|
Look for mud "tunnels" or shelter tubes that the termite uses to crawl and work in.
|
Immediately show mom and dad the
shelter tubes and tell them they need to call the exterminator! |
There are several kinds of termites in the United States. Next we will discuss how you can determine which kind of termite is most likely in your area.
