Termites are attracted to moisture, so damp conditions – whether in the soil or the structure of your home – can encourage them to move in. Leaks associated with faulty plumbing, broken roof tiles, leaking shower recesses and air conditioning drainage can all cause problems. The soil beneath and around trees, shrubs and garden beds is also likely to contain moisture and organic matter that may allow termites to establish near your home and then gain access through the foundations, expansion joints or other concealed entry points.
