Termite control in Park Slope: what to know
Park Slope's signature brownstones and limestone row houses are beautiful and old — the same deep voids, shared walls and original plumbing that make them charming also make them prone to rodents, ants and cockroaches moving between floors and homes.
The neighbourhood's location on the edge of Prospect Park means added seasonal pressure from rodents, mosquitoes and ticks, and from outdoor ants foraging indoors in warm months.
Family-dense brownstone blocks and the restaurant corridors along Fifth and Seventh Avenues keep food-source pressure high year-round.
Signs you need termite control
- 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
How we treat termite control in Park Slope
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.
