Termite Control in Ewing, NJ

The four most common termite species in the U.S. are Subterranean, Dampwood, Drywood, and Formosan termites.

In Ewing, NJ, the primary concern is the Eastern Subterranean Termite. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), much of Eastern Pennsylvania and Central New Jersey fall under "Termite Infestation Probability Zone #2," indicating moderate to heavy termite activity.

Notably, 1 in 22 homes in Ewing, NJ, is estimated to have a termite problem.

What Do Termites Look Like?

Subterranean termites live in colonies and are categorized into three main castes:

Workers

• Wingless
• Gray or off-white in color
• Rounded heads, growing 1/8 to 1/4 inch in length

Soldiers

• Wingless with yellowish heads
• About 1/4 inch in size

Reproductives (Kings, Queens, and Secondaries)

• Winged, dark-brown or black in color
• Grow to 3/8 to 1/2 inch in length

How Do Termites Get Inside?

Termites gain entry through wooden structures like posts, frames, and steps. They can also infiltrate through cracks as small as 1/32 of an inch—half the thickness of a penny.

Once inside, termites remain active year-round and work 24/7.
