How to Prevent Termites and How We Fixed This Shed

What’s Left When Termites Leave, and What to do to Keep Them Away.

Alright. So, here we have a good example of a nice, beautiful shed in Marion Oaks in Marion County, FL. It wasn’t opened for a couple years, and then last year, we found termite mud tubes all throughout it, and they had a lot of wood replaced. What happened was even though the soil was treated, we have multiple entry points where we treated the soil underneath, but there’s a water leak. This is why it’s so important to take the technician suggestions a little bit more seriously sometimes and we do what we can do.

They didn’t need the soil because they got the moisture from the wood. As you can see they still continued to create mud tubes all throughout it. All the 2x4s have been changed within the past year we have treated. There are no termites here anymore. But you can see all the mud tubes are vacant.

So as far as you can see in we have vacant mud tubes. So we were able to treat and protect the house. None of our termite bait stations have any more termite evidence, but termites did eat on the mud tubes. So, it’s not just about getting a termite treatment. It’s about making sure that the water leaks and everything are corrected. Whether it be from a leaky roof or a leaky pipe, all vacant mud tubes.
