Protect Wood Before the Damage Spreads

Professional termite inspections and treatment for properties in New Rochelle, Westchester County, and all five boroughs

You notice mud tubes running up your foundation wall or find hollow-sounding wood near a window frame, and you start wondering how long termites have been feeding inside your walls. Termite damage in homes often goes unnoticed until wood framing weakens or you see swarming insects near a light fixture in the spring. Tri-County Pest Control inspects basements, crawl spaces, sill plates, and structural wood to identify active infestations and assess areas where termites are likely to enter.

Our termite control services are designed for residential and commercial properties across Westchester County, where subterranean termites build colonies in soil and access wood through cracks in foundations or gaps around utility lines. We treat active infestations using solutions that eliminate colonies and offer preventative options that protect wood framing and foundations from future damage. Real estate transactions often require termite inspections, and we provide documentation that meets lender and buyer requirements.

Contact Tri-County Pest Control to schedule a termite inspection for your property and discuss treatment options.

How We Locate and Treat Active Colonies

We begin with a thorough inspection of your property in New Rochelle or Westchester County checking for mud tubes, damaged wood, moisture issues, and swarming activity. Our technician examines the foundation, basement walls, floor joists, window frames, and any wood-to-soil contact points where termites are most likely to enter. We use moisture meters and probing tools to assess the extent of damage and locate areas where termites are actively feeding.

Once treatment is applied, the colony is eliminated and wood that has been compromised stops deteriorating further. You may need to repair damaged framing, but stopping the infestation prevents additional structural loss.

Treatment methods depend on the severity of the infestation, the construction of your home, and whether termites are accessing wood from soil or through above-ground entry points. Preventative treatments create a barrier that deters future colonies from establishing near your foundation. This service is ideal for homeowners preparing to sell, buyers requesting inspections before closing, and property managers responsible for maintaining building integrity over time.

How do I know if I have termites?
Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors, and small piles of frass that resemble sawdust. If you see swarming insects in spring, termites may already be established in your home.

How long does termite treatment take?
Treatment timing depends on the size of your property and the extent of the infestation. Most treatments are completed in a few hours, but larger homes or severe infestations may require additional visits to ensure full colony elimination.

Why are termites common in Westchester County?
Subterranean termites thrive in soil with consistent moisture and access to wood, which is common in older homes with wood siding, untreated foundations, and areas where wood contacts soil. Properties near wooded areas or with drainage issues face higher risk.

When should I schedule a termite inspection?
Schedule an inspection if you notice signs of termite activity, if your home is being sold or purchased, or if you have not had an inspection in the past few years. Early detection prevents costly structural repairs.
