Natural Termites Control
Subterranean termites cause billions in property damage annually — early detection is key.
About Termites
Subterranean termites are the most destructive pest in North America. They work silently underground, often causing significant structural damage before detection. Modern baiting systems and targeted liquid treatments control termites effectively while minimizing environmental impact.

- ✓Mud tubes on foundation walls or crawl spaces
- ✓Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- ✓Discarded wings near windows or doors (swarmers)
- ✓Frass (termite droppings) resembling wood pellets

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most eco-friendly termite treatment?+
Baiting systems like Sentricon work by using a slow-acting bait that worker termites carry back to the colony. They target only termites with minimal impact on non-target organisms and require no soil injection or chemical barriers.
How quickly do termites cause damage?+
A mature termite colony of 500,000 can consume a foot of 2x4 wood in about 5 months. Early detection and treatment prevents costly repairs.
Do I need annual termite inspections?+
Yes — annual termite inspections are strongly recommended, especially in older homes and areas with high termite pressure like Long Island, South Jersey, and the Philadelphia metro.
