Termite Pest Control in Bergen County, NJ

Subterranean termites are what we deal with most in New Jersey. The colony lives underground, sometimes hundreds of thousands strong. They find entry through cracks in the foundation, gaps around plumbing and wiring, and anywhere wood touches soil.

Bergen County’s densely settled suburbs and older wood-frame houses provide ideal entry points and food sources for subterranean termites. Drywood termites are less common in the Northeast, but they have been known to show up in aging homes with untreated structural timber. We cover both in our types of termites guide if you want the full picture.

Signs of a Termite Infestation

You may notice wings near windows and doorframes – a sure sign a swarm has settled nearby.

Mud tubes running across the top of your foundation or basement walls indicate subterranean termites; they use these pencil-width tunnels to travel between the soil and your wood.

A hollow sound when you tap wall studs, bubbling paint with no apparent water source behind it.

Small pellets resembling coarse sawdust (known as frass, or termite droppings) are also warning signs.

If you observe any of these in your home or business, do not wait. Our page on detecting a termite infestation walks through what to check and when to call.

Twin Boro’s Proven Process for Termite Pest Control

Our process begins with a comprehensive indoor and outdoor inspection, focusing on areas where wood comes into contact with damp soil or water. We identify evidence of termites by spotting discarded wings, mud tubes, damaged wood, frass, and exit holes. Our termite control arsenal includes liquid treatments and the highly effective Trelona® ATBS® Annual Bait Stations. We decide on the appropriate treatment depending on what your property needs, whether that’s one method or a combination of both.

If termite activity is caught early, outdoor treatments will normally do the job. Termites are very good at hiding, so indoor applications are still undertaken when necessary. We also check basements, crawl spaces, and any areas where wood and concrete come into contact. Your termite control plan guarantees year-round protection through ongoing monitoring, bait station replenishment, and reapplication of liquid treatments as needed.

Our work is 100% guaranteed, 365 days a year. We will treat your home consistently so you don’t have to worry. If you choose to sell your home while under warranty, the protection transfers to the new owner.
