Termite control in Brooklyn Heights: what to know
Brooklyn Heights is one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, defined by landmarked 19th-century brownstones and row houses. Their age means deep baseboard gaps, original wood, shared party walls and old plumbing — ideal harbourage for rodents, ants and 'water bugs'.
Garden-level and basement apartments in these historic homes are especially prone to large cockroaches rising from drains and to ant trails entering around old window frames and foundations.
Proximity to the waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the busy Montague Street commercial strip adds rodent pressure to the surrounding residential streets.
Signs you need termite control
- Mud tubes running along foundations, walls, or crawl-space surfaces
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or crumbles easily
- Discarded wings near windowsills after a swarm
- Buckling paint or what looks like water damage on wood
How we treat termite control in Brooklyn Heights
Subterranean termites cause more structural damage than fires and storms combined, and they work silently — by the time you see damage, a colony has often been active for years. In the New York area, termites threaten the wood framing, joists and sills of houses and the lower floors of older buildings.
We provide both proactive inspection — including the Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) reports lenders require for home purchases — and active treatment using liquid soil barriers and in-ground baiting systems that intercept and eliminate the colony.
