Eastern subterranean termites are active across all of Long Island, and by the time swarmers appear indoors the colony has usually been feeding for two to four years. We inspect for them the same way whether you called about a swarm or are closing on a house.
Treatment is a liquid barrier applied to the soil around the foundation, combined with monitoring stations where slab construction or landscaping makes a full trench impractical. We do not use spot treatments as a primary approach — they leave the colony intact and the damage continues out of sight.
