    2. Make it hard for termites to live or hide near you home, eliminate hiding places such as:

• Lumber and firewood piles (stack them away from the home and up off of the ground).
• Remove leaf litter and bark chips next to the home.
• Eliminate moisture directly next to the home (leaking hose bibs and air conditioner condensation lines are sources to look for).
• Maintain a 2-3 inch gap between the ground and the base of the sill plate where the stucco starts.
