Termites can cause significant damage to seating, especially if it’s made of wood. To protect your furniture, consider these effective strategies:

1. Use Termite-Resistant Materials: Opt for seating made from treated wood, metal, or composite materials that are less appealing to termites.

2. Apply Protective Coatings: Seal wooden surfaces with varnish, paint, or termite-resistant chemicals to create a barrier against infestations.

3. Regular Inspections: Check seating frequently for signs of termite activity, such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, or frass (termite droppings).

4. Keep Furniture Dry: Termites thrive in moist environments. Ensure seating is kept dry and well-ventilated, especially in humid climates.

5. Professional Pest Control: Schedule annual termite inspections and treatments by licensed exterminators to prevent infestations before they start.

By implementing these measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of termite damage and extend the lifespan of your seating.
