1. Termites Need a Food Source
When you remove a termite’s food source, they’ll move on in search of another. While we can protect your home with professional treatment, there are additional ways to deter termites from lingering near your property.
Termites feed on cellulose-based materials. Be sure to dispose of items that may attract them, such as:
- Cardboard
- Decaying or dead trees
- Firewood piles
- Paper
- Straw
2. Termites Require Moisture
Moisture is critical for termite survival. Termites seek out damp environments to live, work, and feed.
We recommend routinely inspecting your property for areas where water may collect and addressing any standing water immediately. Pay close attention to moisture-prone spaces like:
- Crawlspaces
- Basements
- Leaky pipes or drains
Also, check if your home’s wood siding comes into direct contact with the ground. If there’s no concrete barrier between the wood and soil, this can serve as a major entry point for termites.
3. Termites Seek Shelter
Termites look for shelter that protects them from predators, weather, and human activity. You’ll often find them in:
- Decaying trees
- Structural wood
- Inside walls and foundations
Any place that provides food, moisture, and cover becomes prime real estate for termites.

4. Termites Need Ideal Temperatures
Termites thrive in temperatures between 75°F and 95°F. Unfortunately for Georgians, our climate offers those ideal conditions for up to 7 or 8 months out of the year. When temperatures drop below 75°F or rise above 95°F, termite populations begin to decline.
