First Step - call Hydrex Termite Control to uncover and prevent termites

Regular Hydrex Sacramento Dry Rot inspections by a licensed pest professional are the best way to help ensure your home is free from termites and the damage that they cause. Qualified Sacramento Dry Rot professionals have the training in termite biology and behavior to identify, prevent and treat termite infestations. A Sacramento Dry Rotcertified pest professional will perform a thorough inspection of your home to determine if, where and how termites are getting in. They can also explain how to correct any conditions in your home that invite termites into Dry Rot infestation. Dry Rot and Termite Signs Holes in wood Crumbling drywall Sagging doors Sagging floors Insect wings on floor. These are all obvious signs of a potential infestation of termites. But even if you don't notice any of these signs, that doesn't necessarily mean termites, or the conditions that invite them, aren't there.

For example: Don't affix wooden trellises to exterior walls. Keep mulch, wood debris, scrap lumber, sawdust and firewood away from your home. If you do keep firewood outside your house during the winter, keep it raised off of the ground. Trim all shrubs, bushes and other dense greenery away from the foundation of your home. Move mulch away from the foundation as well. Don't stack, store or bury wood debris adjacent to your home. Remove infested trees and stumps. Repair leaking faucets and water lines, both indoors and outdoors. Fix leaky roofs and gutters. Don't allow leaves to accumulate in gutters and drains. Grade soil so that water (including air conditioning condensate) runs away from foundations. Ventilate crawl spaces and attics to reduce humidity. Cover at least 90% of the soil in crawl spaces with plastic sheeting. Ideally, wood siding, stucco and foam board should be at least six inches away from the ground. Seal all cracks and holes in your home's foundation, which may provide a handy access point for termites.
