Why Weiser homes get subterranean termites

The volcanic loam and sandy soil that surrounds Weiser is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what subterranean termites need to thrive. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Snake River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Weiser homeowners

• Keep soil and mulch graded back from the foundation.
• Fix downspouts and low spots that hold water against the house.
• Store firewood off the ground and away from the walls.
• Keep crawl spaces dry and ventilated.
