Sand Termite Barriers
Most subterranean termites favor loose, moist soil from which workers construct protective mud tunnels to access aboveground food sources. However, there are several species of subterranean termite that prefer sand over soil. These sand termites pose a particular threat to beach houses, which they may enter through basements, foundations and poorly fitted pipes and insulation.
Sand termite barriers can be erected to protect beach houses from these insects. Sand termite barriers can be made from chemically treated cinder blocks sunk deeply within the sand. These should be refreshed semi-annually. Sand termite barriers should be constructed and monitored by pest control professionals to avoid damage to foundations and to ensure that beach homes are efficiently protected.
