Termite Exterminator in New York City

Termites Don't Wait — Neither Should You

Termites are the most destructive wood-destroying insects in the country, causing over $6.8 billion in property damage annually. In New York City, that damage hits differently. Brooklyn brownstones, Queens row houses, and Manhattan pre-war buildings are packed with the aging wood, moisture, and soil contact that subterranean termites thrive in and because these structures share foundations and walls, a colony next door is already a problem on your doorstep. The eastern subterranean termite is the dominant species in New York City, and it works entirely out of sight. Colonies can be active for more than five years before you notice anything which means by the time you spot a mud tube along your foundation or see swarmers near a window in April, the damage is already done. What you need isn’t a temporary fix. You need someone who knows exactly what they’re dealing with and how to eliminate it at the source.

Termite Infestation Signs in New York City

What Termites Actually Look Like in Your Home

Most people don’t realize they have a termite infestation until they’re already deep into one. The eastern subterranean termite the species responsible for nearly all termite damage in New York City lives underground and travels inside walls, under floors, and through structural wood without ever breaking the surface. You won’t see them crawling across your kitchen counter. What you might see are mud tubes. These pencil-width tunnels of compacted soil run along foundation walls, floor joists, and pipes they’re the highways termites build to travel from the ground into your home’s wood. Hollow-sounding wood, blistered or bubbling paint, and floors that suddenly feel soft underfoot are other signs worth taking seriously. Every spring in New York City typically from March through May winged termites called swarmers emerge to mate and start new colonies. If you’ve spotted what looks like flying ants near your windows or light fixtures, look closely. Termite swarmers have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a straight waist. Flying ants have bent antennae and a pinched waist. If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll identify it fast.

How We Actually Get Rid of Termites

There’s a significant difference between killing the termites you can see and eliminating the colony that’s feeding on your home. Store-bought sprays handle the former. We handle the latter. Our termite control in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens starts with a thorough inspection every accessible area of your property, from the foundation and basement to window frames and floor joists. We identify the species, assess the extent of the infestation, and give you a clear written report before any treatment begins. From there, the approach depends on what your property actually needs. Termite baiting systems are often the most effective option for subterranean infestations bait stations placed around the perimeter deliver a slow-acting treatment that worker termites carry back to the colony, eliminating it from the inside out. For certain situations, liquid termiticide barriers or borate wood treatments are the right call. We explain the options, recommend what makes sense for your specific property, and use only NYS DEC-registered materials throughout. No guesswork, no overselling, no unnecessary work.
