Termite Inspection & Control in Orange County, NY
The termite found in the Hudson Valley is the eastern subterranean termite. It lives in the soil and travels into wood through mud tubes, often unseen for years. A termite inspection looks for those tubes, damaged wood and conditions that invite them.
Peak season: Swarms April–May
Warning signs of termites
- Swarms of small winged insects indoors in spring, often near windows
- Discarded wings on sills and floors
- Pencil-width mud tubes on foundation walls or in crawlspaces
- Wood that sounds hollow or crumbles, especially near the ground
Termites vs. flying ants
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist and four equal-length wings. Flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist and uneven wings. If you're not sure, save a few in a bag — we can identify them.
Inspection and treatment
- Full inspection of the foundation, basement, crawlspace and exterior
- Identification of moisture, wood-to-soil contact and entry points
- Treatment options explained based on the structure and activity found
