Subterranean termites cause more structural damage than fires and storms combined, and they work silently — by the time you see damage, a colony has often been active for years. In the New York area, termites threaten the wood framing, joists and sills of houses and the lower floors of older buildings.
We provide both proactive inspection — including the Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) reports lenders require for home purchases — and active treatment using liquid soil barriers and in-ground baiting systems that intercept and eliminate the colony.
If you're buying or selling property in the NYC metro, a documented termite inspection protects the transaction; if you already suspect activity, early treatment limits the damage and cost.
Signs you have a termite control problem
- Mud tubes running along foundations, walls, or crawl-space surfaces
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or crumbles easily
- Discarded wings near windowsills after a swarm
- Buckling paint or what looks like water damage on wood
Why Park Slope sees this
Older NYC-area homes and brownstones with wood sills near grade are prime termite targets — we know where to look.
We turn WDI reports around quickly to keep real-estate closings on schedule.
