Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control
in Long Island

Why Do Termites Infest Homes?

Termites feed on cellulose, which is found in wood and other plant-based materials. Homes with damp wood or water termite damage are especially attractive to these pests. Termites are also drawn to light sources, which is why they are often found near windows and doors.

When Is Termite Season in Long Island?

Subterranean termites are most active between March and May, during which time they can be seen swarming. However, termites are active year-round and can cause damage during any season.

Are Termites Dangerous to Humans?

While individual termites don’t pose a direct threat to human health, their damage to wood structures can be devastating. It’s essential to address infestations early to prevent costly repairs and potential structural damage.
