CT, RI, NY, and MA Pest Advice

Make Sure Pests in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts Are Not Welcome

No house is termite-proof unless it's cellulose-free (which is nearly impossible). But there are things you can do to prevent easy access to food, moisture and shelter.

No kidding.

Termites can take advantage of any hidden access to food. You might want to reconsider that wooden trellis leaning against your house.

Tips for outside Maintain shrubs, mulch and other landscaping at least 2 feet from the foundation to control CT, MA, RI, and NY pests. Minimize or eliminate the use of wood mulch. Keep wooden fences, planter boxes and other wood items at least 2 feet from the foundation to control pests in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York. Stack firewood and scrap lumber well away from the building. Make sure soil is at least 6 inches away from the bottom of siding and from wood steps, lattice work and door frames.

Tips for managing moisture.

• Place sprinkler heads more than 2 feet from the foundation to make sure they do not wet the walls
• Divert air-conditioner condensation, sump discharge and other water away from the foundation.
• Slope soil away from the house so surface water drains easily.
• Clean gutters and downspouts and keep splash blocks in place to control CT, MA, RI, and NY pests.

Tips for remodeling

If you're adding a room or deck to your home, make sure the lumber has been pressure-treated to discourage termites.  Never bury wood scraps or forms in backfill near the foundation.  These are all good home maintenance tips. But they're no guarantee termites won't attack your biggest financial investment.
