Did you know termites can slowly eat away at your wooden fence post by post without you even noticing? These pests work from the inside out, and the damage often isn’t visible until it’s done.
Whether you’ve seen the signs or just want to replace your fences with better quality fences, Big Jerry’s Fencing is here to help. We can install best termite-free fences.
What Draws Termites to Fence?
Termites love damp, untreated wood. If your fence posts are buried in soil or stay wet after rain, they’ll find a way in. Cracks, rot, and neglect just make it easier.
Signs You Might Have Termites
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Wood sounds hollow when you tap it
- Mud tubes climbing the base or side of your fence
- Small piles of wings or droppings
- Visible tunnels or chewed-up wood
- Boards that sag or fall apart unexpectedly
Spot any of these signs? You need attention.
How to Get Rid of Termites in a Wooden Fence
Replace Damaged Wood
Swap out any boards or posts that show signs of damage. Use pressure-treated lumber to help resist future infestations. If you want fast, professional help, call professionals.
Apply Termite Treatment
Apply a borate-based preservative or liquid termiticide to the fence. It eliminates termites and helps keep them from coming back. Not sure what to use? Call in an expert.
Treat the Soil Around Your Fence
Dig a shallow trench around your fence line and apply termiticide. This blocks termites from entering from underground.
Seal and Stain the Fence
Seal it right. A good stain or sealant blocks moisture, keeps termites out, and extends the life of your fence while keeping it looking sharp.
Tips to Keep Termites Away for Good
Don’t let fence boards or posts touch the ground
Trim back plants, vines, or tall grass near your fence
Consider switching to termite-proof materials like vinyl
