The… By the ETOS Technical Team Updated December 17, 2024 When you find a termite colony quietly destroying furniture or parts of the house, using a **cheap termite control service** is an effective and targeted solution that you can rely on. The reason for this is because termites have an extraordinary ability to hide, so it is not easy to get rid of them. By using professional services, hiding termites can be completely exterminated in a safe way. However, surely you don't want termites to reappear after the extermination process is complete? One of the preventive measures that can be taken is to know what causes termite infestation in the house. That way, we can avoid or anticipate these various causes. So, what are the causes? Here are some of them: **- Food and nest for termites available** Termites love cellulose, especially wood, as their food source. Therefore, it is not surprising that wooden furniture or structures in the house are the main targets of termites, right? Especially if the wood material is right on the surface, or planted in the ground. If you have to use wood underground in the structure of the house, try to use only wood variants that have been proven to be termite resistant. Alternatively, you can choose a variant that has been given extra treatment to make it termite resistant. **- Humid and Wet Environment** Termites are also very fond of moist and wet environments. Therefore, termites are very fond of damp weathered wood, or wood in direct contact with moist soil surfaces. Inside the house, pay extra attention to corners that tend to be damp and warm, such as cracks in the roof that seep, walls with seeping pipes, and other places that tend to be damp or wet. **- Termite Infestation in the Neighborhood** If you have done everything possible to prevent termites from coming back, but termite infestation still occurs, it is possible that the environment around your house is experiencing the same problem, especially from your closest neighbors. Once termites have eaten everything in the neighboring area, it is not impossible that they will migrate to your house to find food. Especially when your house and your neighbors are only separated by a wooden fence or wall, no matter how thick it is. This condition is rather difficult to handle because it requires cooperation from various parties. Basically, termites are indiscriminate when looking for new "prey". Even homeowners who have been careful are still at risk of experiencing this problem. ## Learn More - [Termites guide](https://etos.id/en/guides/termite-control/) - [Termites service](https://etos.id/en/solution/services/termite-solution/) - [Pest control pricing](https://etos.id/en/pricing/) Customer Care ## Need help?
