Hey, guys, this is Danny, your termite guy with Lloyd Pest Control and we're back with another tip of the week. I wanna talk a little bit about dry rot, or fungus, you're gonna be seeing this on your termite report. What is it? So what it is is it's a plant that actually lives in the wood, if ever moisture's introduced, and basically what this does is it breaks down the wood, creating dry rot.
There are different kinds of dry rot. So what you're gonna see on your home is, if you have a roofline and there's a piece of board that's sandwiched up against and maybe the gutter's not draining properly, you're gonna have, eventually you're gonna get some dry rot in there. And with dry rot, you can't really be Bondoing that stuff. In certain instances you can, if the moisture condition is corrected, but typically you're gonna wanna be changing out these items.
The thing with dry rot is if it goes below 20% moisture, the fungus will go dormant, but if it's ever introduced to moisture again, it will be active again. So these are reasons why you don't wanna be having somebody Bondo these areas up or patch them with a wood filler. If you can, you wanna get these things changed out.
If you have any questions about dry rot, termites, or any other pests, you can call or text my cell at 619-843-3700, thanks for watching.
