Conducive conditions in a Deanside yard
Stumps, trees, gutters and damp: the outdoor items a pest inspection lists.
In short: Termites need food, water and shelter. Your yard can provide all three.
Stumps and timber
Old stumps and timber in ground contact are common nest sites.
Trees near the house
Roots near footings and branches touching the roof bring moisture and debris close.
Gutters
Blocked gutters overflow and keep walls damp.
Garden beds
Beds against walls hold moisture and hide entry points.
