The Garage Mistake That Could BeAttracting Termites
Think your garage is safe from termites because there’s no fancy furniture or expensive flooring inside?
That’s exactly why many termite problems start there unnoticed.
One of the easiest DIYprevention habits homeowners can start today: Check cardboard storage in your garage every month.
Why? Cardboard holds moisture surprisingly well, especially during humid weather or when stored directly on concrete floors.And termites don’t just eat wood. They’re attracted to cellulose, which cardboard is packed with.
Quick DIYprevention checklist:
● Keep cardboard boxes off the floor using shelves or pallets
● Avoid stacking boxes directly against walls
❏ Inspect corners for tiny mud tubes or wood dust
❏ Check areas near water heaters and laundry connections regularly
❏ Garages are often darker, quieter, and less disturbed, basically a termite introvert paradise.
