Tells How To Avoid Damage By Termites most effective i rase against ter- j c a fly stage’s of j The easiest and time to protect a mites is during lli its construction. Tile problem, said Dr II. 11 Fulton research entomologist at State Coll ege, is to keep the termintes from reaching the wooden parts of the house. These insects commonly live und erground but will build mud run ways up the masonry walls of a house to reach the woodwork The greater the distance from the soil level to the woodwork, the less the chance of termite infesta tion, Dr. Fulton said. And a house with a full basement is less likely to he bothered than one without a basement or with only a partial base meat. I ^ Any part of the building which iL not directly over a basement should be protected by removing the soil to give a clearance of three or four feet Stumps and roots in the ground underneath a house should be dug out. Dr. Fulton recommended the use of termite shields for frame houses, particularly .those without . base ments. A shield is a strip of non corrosive metal placed between the foundations and the sills. Well laid Portland cement gives a good protection, he added, but only so long as there are no cracks thju which the termites may enter. A common source of trouble is in terraces or porches with a concrete j floor laid over an earth fill, and on I a level wit h the floor of the house. Termites frequently find crack* through which they can reach the wood work. Building the terraces one step be low the floor level reduces the like lihood of termite damage.
