Conditions on the property that invite termites back

Treatment deals with the colony attacking the building now. Prevention deals with why that colony found the building attractive in the first place. Subterranean termites need moisture and a route from soil into cellulose, and most properties offer several without the owner realising. Fixing those conditions is cheaper than repeat treatment, and largely a matter of drainage and clearance rather than chemistry.

Property conditions that raise termite risk, and what to change
ConditionWhy termites exploit itWhat to change
Soil or mulch piled against siding Gives termites a concealed route straight past the foundation into timber Keep soil and mulch several inches below siding; maintain a visible inspection gap
Downpipes discharging beside the foundation Creates permanently damp soil, the condition subterranean termites need Extend discharge away from the building; grade the ground to fall away
Firewood or timber stacked against the house A food source in direct contact with the structure Store off the ground and away from walls
Tree stumps and buried construction timber near the building Supports a colony close enough to forage into the structure Remove stumps and buried offcuts where practical
Leaking taps, air-conditioning condensate, plumbing seepage Localised damp timber, which is where infestations concentrate Repair leaks; ensure condensate drains clear of the foundation
Poorly ventilated crawl space Sustained high humidity in the subfloor Clear and maintain vents; address standing water
Deck posts and fence rails set directly into soil A timber bridge from soil to structure that bypasses any treated zone Use metal post bases or concrete; keep timber out of ground contact
