Why Upper West Side Has a Termites Problem
The Upper West Side's beautiful pre-war buildings, classic brownstones between Columbus Avenue and Riverside Park, and tree-lined streets create an ideal environment for termite activity. Properties near Riverside Park and those with original wooden features require regular termite inspections to protect against the subterranean and drywood termites common in this historic Manhattan neighborhood.
Why Choose Us for Termite Treatment in Upper West Side
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.

Termite Treatment in Upper West Side — FAQs
How much does termite treatment cost in the Upper West Side?▾
We can walk through pricing on a free phone consultation before any work begins.
What types of termites are common in Upper West Side buildings?▾
The Upper West Side primarily sees subterranean termites, which enter buildings from the ground through foundation cracks, and occasionally drywood termites in wooden structures. Pre-war buildings with original wood flooring, window frames, and structural beams are particularly vulnerable. Our inspectors are trained to identify termite species and recommend the most effective treatment for your specific situation.
How long does termite treatment take in an Upper West Side apartment or brownstone?▾
Most termite treatments in Upper West Side properties take 2-4 hours for initial application, though this varies by property size and treatment type. Liquid barrier treatments for brownstones may require a full day, while localized treatments for apartments are typically faster.
Do I need to leave my Upper West Side apartment during termite treatment?▾
For most modern termite treatments, you can remain in your apartment, though we recommend staying out of treated areas for 2-4 hours until products dry. If fumigation is required (rare for apartments), temporary relocation for 24-72 hours may be necessary. We use low-toxicity, EPA-registered products safe for families and pets, and always provide specific instructions based on the treatment method used in your Upper West Side home.
