Any words of advice on dealing with termites?
We just went with a pest control company after we found a bunch of the critters. Very scary when you live in a log home!

They put down poison to get a beachhead and then went with bait stations since. It seems to be working. No new damage. 

Some other advice those guys gave is:
 - Do not use wood mulch right up against the house.
 - Make sure not to pile dirt up anywhere near the top of the concrete foundation of the house. 
 - pick up any lose wood or dead brush laying around the yard. You want the minimum of wood-to-dirt contact anywhere near your house as possible, otherwise you are attracting the suckers and feeding them.
