Long Island Termite Treatment

How To Identify A Termite Infestation

Appearance - It is common to mistake termites for winged ants, so it's important to note the difference. Ants have narrow, wasp-like waists; termites have wide waists. Also, a termite's wings are much larger, almost twice the length of its body. If you find wings, droppings or mud tubes, then call your local Long Island termite control technician immediately for professional termite treatment.

Behavior - Termites lose their wings soon after finding a new colony site; thus, if you spot termite wings indoors, then there is a high probability that an underground nest is likely to be underway nearby.

These pests swarm before establishing a new colony, and this is the most common indicator that a termite infestation is impending. In severe cases, they can be seen to the naked eye swarming in masses, usually when a light is turned on at night.

Upon a close look, wood attacked by termites has passages that have been coated with what looks like an Earth-like material. Where the wood has been infested for some time, it may be mostly hollowed out with passages and may look rotten. If the rotten wood is inspected with a tool or screwdriver, it will crumble, and many worker termites will often spill out.

Why You Might Have Termites

Termites congregate to areas with moisture, which is why pipes, A/C units and other home fixtures that may be prone to leaking should be repaired.

Homes with cracks in the foundation, older homes, and homes with a large amount of wood indoors and outdoors are more susceptible to termite infestations.

Keeping plants and mulch maintained, getting rid of yard debris and old stumps and keeping firewood away from the home can help.

Reasons To Treat Your Termite Problem Immediately

Termite problems in Long Island are not to be taken lightly. Termites do more damage to homes than all natural disasters combined; they can cause significant, expensive damage to Long Island homes and businesses in an extremely short period.

Putting off calling a professional will cause the termite infestations to spiral out of control. At first sight of signs of an infestation, experienced local Long Island termite control professionals should be contacted to treat current termite issues and prevent further problems.

What to expect from our treatment

Target the Source
First we identify and target the source of your termite problem with our custom treatment.
Inside Treatment
We then treat unfinished basements, garages, crawl spaces, trash areas, attics; wherever there is the possibility for a pest to enter your home or make residence, we will create a barrier to protect you. We deploy a variety of techniques depending on what works best for your situation.
Outside Treatment
We create a protective barrier around your home using a granular base around the foundation. We then treat windows and doors, as well as under siding, to keep the pests out. We will also place a granular bait in your flower and mulch beds so that it is taken back to any potential nests, destroying them.

Our Guarantee

Fox Pest Control guarantees its treatment plan. If for whatever reason you have any new termite problems or other covered pests, we will treat at your convenience and at no additional cost to you.

The barriers we put in place to protect your home and family against pests will naturally break down over time. This is why over the course of the year we will regularly reapply treatments as well as re-inspect for new conditions, avenues and sources of pests to ensure your home is protected. For more details on our treatment schedule read our Home Protection Plan page.

Your home is your largest investment.
Let Fox Pest Control protect it against pests!
