A termite shield is like a barrier that goes around your house to keep termites away. Termites are little bugs that like to eat wood and other things in your house, which can make your house weak and fall down. The termite shield helps stop the termites from getting into your house by making it hard for them to crawl up the wall and into your house. It usually looks like a piece of metal that sits between the bottom of your house and the ground. So, if you have a termite shield, you can help protect your house from termites!
