Termite Control in Long Beach, NY

How We Treat Termites on the Barrier Island

Because of Long Beach's high water table, traditional liquid trenching methods aren't always viable or environmentally responsible near the coastline. We tailor our approach to protect both your property and the local marine environment.

1. Eco-Friendly Baiting Systems

Given the sandy soil and proximity to the ocean and Reynolds Channel, our preferred method for many Long Beach homes is the installation of advanced termite baiting stations. These are placed strategically around the perimeter of your property. They require no liquid chemicals to be pumped into the ground, completely eliminating the risk of runoff into the high water table, while effectively destroying the termite colony at its source.

2. Targeted Wood Treatments

For exposed pilings on raised homes or older bungalows in the West End, we apply direct borate treatments to vulnerable wood. This penetrates the lumber and prevents termites from consuming it, acting as a powerful localized deterrent where soil treatment is impossible.

3. Moisture Control Consultation

Because termites need moisture to survive above ground, we identify the specific coastal weather patterns affecting your home - such as failing gutters dumping water near your pilings, or poor ventilation in enclosed ground-level storage areas - and provide actionable steps to dry out these termite magnets.
