What can a homeowner check outdoors?

Walk the foundation, the trees and the stumps, and look at the bark and the soil line for mud tubes and cotton-like material. The Extension brochure for Duval County names those two signs.

Keep landscaping and woodpiles a foot from the house, and direct gutters and drainage away from the wall. Those are the Extension steps that remove the conditions termites use.

Note each sign with a date and a photograph, and do not break or spray what you find.
