Happy Tuesday! Our Pest Control Manager Dylan is sharing tips on how to properly store firewood.
Keeping firewood too close to your home can attract termites since it’s one of their favorite food sources. As they feed and spread, there’s a chance they can make their way to the wooden structures of your home. Stacked firewood near the house can also act just like mulch in flowerbeds, creating the perfect environment for pests.
We recommend storing firewood off the ground on a rack and at least 25 feet away from your home.
Another great way to prevent termite issues is by scheduling an annual inspection with a licensed professional. Louisiana is a high risk area for termites, so this is an important step for homeowners!
