• 
  Homeowners are asked to minimize moisture in the soil beneath and next to buildings, as subterranean termites are attracted by moisture and humidity.
  
• 
  Building timbers and sub floors should be kept dry and well ventilated. Termites have the inclination to move upwards. That is why leaks or plumbing faults should be repaired at the earliest.
  
• 
  Do not stock woodpiles directly on soil near the house as they tend to attract termites. Also, refrain from storing timber or other cellulose-containing materials such as paper or cardboard directly on soil underneath or next to buildings.
