Mud tubes on the foundation and frass near a window sill both mean the same thing: active feeding, and every week counts. Because termite damage typically isn't covered by standard insurance, catching it early is the only real safeguard.
Our inspectors carry state wood-destroying organism licensing and produce reports accepted for real estate closings.
We move fast on visible swarm or mud-tube reports, since waiting rarely shrinks the problem.
You'll see the full cost tied to actual foundation length, not a phone-quote guess. Bait station monitoring logs are kept on file and available to you at any time, not just at the annual check-in.
Non-repellent liquid barriers, in-ground bait stations, moisture meters, and acoustic detection tools. We also carry backup moisture meters, since accurate readings separate a real diagnosis from a guess.
Liquid termiticide trenched along the full foundation perimeter, engineered for colony-level elimination through contact transfer.
Stations placed at intervals, checked on schedule to intercept colonies before they reach the structure.
Drywood activity doesn't touch soil, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
We can turn around official wood-destroying organism reports fast for a closing deadline.
We assess joists, sill plates, and subfloor before connecting you with repair contractors. Basement and crawl space access points get particular attention during inspection, since those areas often show early activity first.
New construction gets a termite barrier in place before the concrete goes down, not after. A yearly check-in catches soil grading or mulch buildup around a foundation before it becomes a new pathway.
Location and type of sign determine whether this is a subterranean or drywood dispatch.
We inspect thoroughly, not just a visual walk-through — moisture readings catch what the eye misses.
You get a complete record, including photos of any mud tubes or damage found on-site.
Treatment is scheduled with a written warranty term, plus a monitoring schedule if bait stations go in.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check — caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Had it in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations checked every quarter for two years straight. No surprises, no missed visits.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we'd never have checked ourselves. Saved us a much bigger repair.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.
Licensed inspectors cover Kearny and the surrounding Kearny, NJ region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. Older Kearny neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes inspection priority. We also track regional soil moisture trends, since drought years and wet years both shift where subterranean colonies tend to concentrate.
One needs ground moisture and builds visible tubes, the other nests directly inside the wood itself. If you're unsure whether you need prevention or active treatment, we'll help you figure out which situation actually applies.
Cost depends on foundation size and whether it's liquid barrier or bait stations, quoted in writing after seeing the property.
Most lenders require a current WDO report — we can turn documentation around fast to meet a closing deadline.
Non-repellent barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty, with annual re-inspection recommended.
Over-the-counter sprays usually repel locally rather than eliminate the colony, which can complicate professional treatment later. We can also advise on landscaping changes — mulch placement, irrigation adjustments — that reduce moisture conditions termites favor.
Seeing a swarm is often the first visible sign a colony has matured enough to reproduce. We recommend a yearly check-in since soil grading and mulch buildup change year to year.
Whether it's mud tubes or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
