Why Morningside Heights Has a Termites Problem
Morningside Heights' concentration of pre-1940s buildings, including beautiful brownstones along tree-lined streets near Riverside Church and Grant's Tomb, makes the area particularly vulnerable to subterranean and drywood termite activity. The neighborhood's proximity to Morningside and Riverside Parks, combined with older wooden structures common in Columbia University-area housing, creates ideal conditions for termite colonies to thrive undetected.
Why Choose Us for Termite Treatment in Morningside Heights
Termite damage is silent and cumulative, which is why our treatment process begins with a thorough inspection of all accessible wood, the foundation perimeter, crawl spaces, and any mud tubes, frass, or structural damage that indicates active infestation. Based on findings, we design a treatment program using either liquid termiticide barrier application — injected into the soil around the foundation to create a continuous treated zone — or a bait station system that workers carry back to the colony. For active infestations in structures, we also treat accessible wood directly with termiticide foam or liquid injection. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call. Termite installations include a 1-year service agreement.
