Termite Control Long Island, NY
About Termite Control
Termites are the world’s most infamous wood destroyers. While they are tiny and easy to overlook, they can also create a world of damage within your walls. Unlike other infestations, wherein signs can be spotted early on, termite colonies are usually only discovered once the wooden structures have been extensively disfigured and professional termite control experts have been called in to assess the situation. This not only includes holes on your walls, but also buckled flooring, sagging ceilings, warping partitions, jammed doors, and eventually, structural collapse.
The harm they cause to your properties and the risk they put you in are the main concerns when it comes to these invasive insects. They are not known to bite humans or transmit disease, as their sole focus is to feed on wood for prolonged survival.

Termite Control Services Long Island, NY
There are close to 3,000 termite species around the world, with the global distribution weighing heavily on tropical regions. However, when it comes to Long Island, specifically, we only have one native termite breed. The Eastern Subterranean Termite is the sole variety encountered within our region. While this may sound like favorable news, it’s important to highlight that this species of termite is also the most economically destructive throughout the entire country.
With a long history providing systematic Long Island termite control, our team knows the Eastern Subterranean kind very well. We understand their nesting habits, how they prefer to move around, and the kind of signs to look out for once they’ve settled on the wooden panels to devour. The term “subterranean” pertains to their innate habit of traveling underneath the soil. This is proven through their distinctive mud tubes, which connect the outside ground to wooden structures, often found within basements or along the foundations.
Another thing to consider is that there have been unofficial reports of other termite breeds emerging in different areas of Long Island. While these are not formally documented, it is not impossible for drywood or dampwood termites to exist in certain environments on our island. The best way to ascertain whether or not you have the infestation on your property, and if it is in fact the notorious Eastern Subterranean or otherwise, is by partnering with a professional termite control company like SC Pest Solutions.

Overview Of Our Termite Control Process
Inspection
Since termites have the ability to expertly hide within walls, it can take a while for the average property owner to notice when something goes awry. Leave it to us to conduct a meticulous assessment of your property, including all wooden structures from the attic down to your crawl space.
Strategy
The reason why an inspection is a critical first step is that it can tell us so much about the pest, the property, and the problem. Through conclusive findings, we can determine all termite entry points, the size of the infestation, how much damage has been done, and where we can start salvaging what’s left of the area.
Treatment
When we’ve determined the necessary details, our local exterminators start to put our strategies into action. We cover all corners where the invasive insects have touched and potential areas that some workers may have strayed into. Through a holistic approach, we can confidently detect, diminish, and eventually abolish the entire colony.
Monitoring
Once the dust has settled, we continue our efforts through actively monitoring the areas we’ve treated, as well as the surrounding environment, to ensure that there are no chances of another infestation starting up. Since termites can be stubborn, and it’s possible to encounter new generations, monitoring can help put an end to clusters early on.
Reporting
We document everything. From the initial inspection to our proposed strategy, followed through with our treatment sessions, and every single visit after. Through this method, we can accurately and easily track progress while taking note of the things that have worked best for your property and target pest.
Support
Unlike other services, it’s always a good sign when you won’t need us to come in for emergency treatments anymore. That means our tactics are working. However, to keep the positive results going, regular assessments are necessary, which is why we offer ongoing support even long after we’ve eradicated the last termite.
Why Do Termites Infest Properties?
Three main factors drive subterranean termites to infest your property. First is the access to moisture. These insects require moisture to survive because they create nests within the soil, relying on the high humidity levels to prevent their paper-thin cuticles from drying out. They are also very sensitive to dry air, causing massive fatalities due to rapid dehydration.
Secondly, these termites need enough warmth to survive as they are cold-blooded. This means that their metabolism and ability to be productive significantly slow down in colder temperatures. Lastly, termites are attracted to properties due to the availability of food sources such as the cellulose in wood, paper, and similar plant-based materials.
