To deter and keep termites away from a residential structure, homeowners can apply several preventative barriers and treatments around the perimeter foundation. Popular options include spreading borate-based wood preservatives (like disodium octaborate tetrahydrate) onto exposed lumber, installing chemical liquid soil barriers treated with termiticides, placing professional subterranean bait stations, and laying down gravel or maintaining a clear gravel-to-soil clearance gap to prevent direct wood-to-ground contact.
