Termites in NY

6/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Termites in NY - Termites cause millions of dollars in damage every year here in NY (Manhattan, Staten Island, Bronx, Queens, and the surrounding areas). They generally cause damage that is completely hidden and not able to be found without dismantling things. They do this naturally to avoid predators.


So what can be done to find and identify them? First, look for mud tubes. It is generally the easiest way to see if they are there or not. Then, if you are able to find their damage, don't mistake it for carpenter ant damage like many people do - even experienced pest control operators. When you see damage in your home, compare it to the picture below. Notice how the "frass" is packed into their tunnels. Questions? Contact me!
