Lawn & Garden Termite Prevention
You probably know by now the ways termites can damage a home. But in Lubbock TX, they can infest in your yard and garden just as easily! Whether indoors or out, if there’s an abundance of cellulose or rotting wood it’s prime real estate for termites.
Many of the same preventative measures you take indoors can apply to your yard as well. And if that doesn’t work, Bug Out can take care of your lawn without damaging your landscaping.
Tips to Prevent Termites Outdoors
Termites will infest items that contain cellulose, which means any wood source outside is vulnerable. To prevent termites in your backyard in Lubbock TX, try out the following tips:
- Look for rotten tree roots, dead trees, and decaying logs, and remove them carefully. Termites are very attracted to rotting wood.
- Never let piles of firewood touch the soil in your yard. Instead, store them several inches above the ground and away from your home.
- Moist, wet environments are extremely suited for termites. Promptly fix any moisture or drainage issues.
- Work with a professional pest control company that can administer treatment in your yard or garden in a safe manner.

Getting Rid of Termites Outdoors
If you put any amount of time cultivating and maintaining your garden, you may be hesitant to use any treatments that can ruin your grass or plants. There are eco-friendly barriers in termite prevention, such as orange oil, diatomaceous earth and boric acid. However, these will not eradicate an active infestation. In cases like that, it’s best to rely on an exterminator from Bug Out to treat your yard without harming your vegetation.
