Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Port Monmouth's conditions — a climate shaped by the region's proximity to the coast and the New York City urban heat island, with genuine seasonal extremes — create exactly that. Historic brick and frame two- and three-family homes make up much of the older housing stock, alongside newer suburban development. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
