Why Gulf Shores homes get subterranean termites

The sandy loam, with heavy clay in the river bottoms that surrounds Gulf Shores is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what subterranean termites need to thrive. The Coastal Plain with pine forests, farmland, and Gulf-front lowlands adds harborage, and the humid subtropical with very hot summers, mild winters, and high rainfall keeps the activity going through most of the year. The older neighborhoods in town have the most mature trees and the most moisture issues, and the newer subdivisions on the outskirts sit on land that was recently pasture or field, which brings its own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Gulf Shores homeowners

• Seal entry points. Caulk and steel wool around pipes, doors, windows, and the foundation keep subterranean termites from finding their way inside. In Gulf Shores, the older homes have the most gaps.
• Keep the perimeter dry. Fix downspouts, grade the soil away from the foundation, and clear standing water. The sandy loam, with heavy clay in the river bottoms holds moisture, and dry ground means fewer pests.
• Trim back vegetation. Keep shrubs, trees, and mulch at least 18 inches from the house. The Coastal Plain with pine forests, farmland, and Gulf-front lowlands of South Alabama means natural harborage is close to every home.
• Store food properly. Keep pantry items in sealed containers, clean crumbs immediately, and take out the trash regularly. This is the single most effective step for indoor pests.
• Schedule regular inspections. An annual pest inspection catches problems before they become infestations. In Baldwin County, the combination of the humid subtropical with very hot summers, mild winters, and high rainfall and the sandy loam, with heavy clay in the river bottoms means the pressure never truly stops.
