Termites Are Destroying Your Property Right Now
Termites work silently and constantly. By the time most property owners see visible damage, the colony has been active for months — sometimes years. In the NY/NJ metro area, Eastern Subterranean Termites are the dominant species, and they're active in our region from spring through fall.
At After Hours Pest Control, we provide targeted termite treatment for homeowners, contractors, and real estate professionals. We treat the infestation and protect the structure — quickly and effectively.
Important Note: We provide termite treatment and preventative services only. We do not perform termite inspections or issue WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) certification letters. For inspection and certification needs, please contact a licensed home inspector.
Signs of Termite Activity
- Winged termites (swarmers) emerging from soil or wood — especially in spring
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or vents
- Mud tubes on foundation walls, crawl spaces, or exterior walls
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
- Blistering or darkening of wood surfaces
- Sagging floors, warped doors or window frames
- Small piles of frass (termite droppings) — looks like sawdust
Our Termite Treatment
We use liquid termiticide treatments applied to the soil around and under your structure to create a treatment zone that eliminates active colonies and prevents new ones from establishing. Treatment is targeted, effective, and performed by a licensed applicator.
If you see winged insects swarming, snap a photo before they disperse. It helps us confirm the species and identify the source of the colony faster.
🏗️ For Contractors & New Construction
Pre-construction termite treatment is one of the most cost-effective investments a contractor can make. Treating the soil before the slab is poured or the foundation is backfilled creates a chemical barrier that protects the structure for years.
We work with general contractors, builders, and developers on:
- Pre-construction soil treatment before slab or foundation work
- Treatment during renovations that expose soil or wood framing
- Active infestation treatment on job sites
- Ongoing job site protection programs
We understand job site timelines and work to keep your project moving without delays.
🏠 For Realtors & Real Estate Transactions
Termite activity discovered during a home inspection can stall or kill a real estate deal. We work with realtors, buyers, and sellers to provide fast treatment so transactions can move forward.
- Fast turnaround treatment to meet closing timelines
- Professional documentation of treatment performed
- We coordinate directly with all parties to minimize delays
- Evening and weekend availability when deadlines are tight
Note: We provide treatment only. WDI inspection letters and certifications must be obtained through a licensed home inspector.
Why Termite Damage Gets Expensive Fast
- A single termite colony can contain hundreds of thousands of workers
- They feed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Termite damage is rarely covered by homeowner's insurance
- Structural repairs from termite damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars
- Early treatment is always far less expensive than repair
