Termites are attracted to properties that provide them with favorable conditions for survival. Some common attractants include:
- Moisture: Termites require a moist environment to thrive. Properties with water leaks, high humidity levels, or poor drainage can attract termites.
- Wood and Cellulose Sources: Termites feed on cellulose-rich materials, such as wood, paper, or cardboard. Having wood in contact with soil or storing untreated wooden materials near your property can attract termites.
- Warmth: Termites prefer warm environments. Therefore, properties located in regions with mild to warm climates are more susceptible to termite infestation.
