Termite Control in Philadelphia
Termite Services Rooted in 30+ Years of Regional Experience
Termite control isn’t one service among many for us. It’s our name. Newtown Termite & Pest Control has been protecting homes across Pennsylvania and New Jersey since 1993, and in that time, we’ve inspected and treated properties for more than 85,000 homeowners across the Greater Delaware Valley. Philadelphia’s older housing stock, humid summers, and abundance of row homes with basement foundations create persistent conditions for termite activity. We know this area’s pest pressures firsthand, and we bring that knowledge to every inspection we conduct.
As a family-owned and operated company, we approach every job the way we’d want our own home treated: honest guidance, clear answers, and no pressure. Every engagement begins with a free, no-obligation inspection so you understand what you’re dealing with before any work is recommended.

Why Termite Pressure Is High in Philadelphia, PA
Eastern subterranean termites are the dominant species throughout Philadelphia and the broader tri-state region. They build mud tube systems along foundation walls and feed on structural wood from below ground, often for months or years before any visible sign appears above the surface. Because termite damage happens silently, a professional inspection is one of the most reliable ways to assess what’s actually happening inside your walls and foundation.
Housing Conditions That Elevate Risk
Philadelphia’s housing conditions make the risk especially persistent. Row homes, brick construction with wood-framed interiors, basements and crawl spaces, and properties where wood contacts soil near the foundation all create accessible entry points. Humid summers accelerate activity, but colonies stay active underground through fall and winter as well. Spring is the primary swarm season when winged termites become visible. In Pennsylvania, swarms typically emerge between February and June, though waiting until you see a swarm means activity has likely been underway for some time. Standard homeowners insurance typically doesn’t cover termite damage, which makes proactive protection a practical priority.
Local Knowledge Built Over 30 Years
Our team has been inspecting and treating properties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey since 1993. That direct familiarity with local building conditions and termite behavior is what we bring to every Philadelphia property we visit.
What a Free Termite Inspection Covers
Our inspections are thorough, and they carry no obligation to proceed with any treatment. A technician examines your exterior foundation, basement or crawl space, attached garage, accessible interior walls, and any areas where wood contacts soil or moisture. We look for mud tubes along the foundation, hollow or damaged wood, discarded wings near windows and doors, moisture-damaged areas, and conditions that attract termite activity such as wood debris or chronic dampness.
The inspection also identifies conditions that could support future activity, not just current infestations. After the walkthrough, your technician explains findings in plain language and provides a clear written estimate. You leave that conversation knowing what we found, what we recommend, and what it costs. The decision is yours, on your timeline.
Custom Termite Treatment & Protection Plans
No two Philadelphia properties are identical. Following your inspection, we build a custom treatment plan based on your property’s specific conditions. For subterranean termites, treatment commonly involves soil application around the foundation and targeted work at active points. The exact method depends on what the inspection reveals.
All treatments are designed to address termite activity, and we let you know if children or pets need to stay clear of treated areas while they dry. Beyond the initial treatment, we offer a structured Termite Protection plan and a Year-Round Pest Protection plan for ongoing monitoring. If termites return under a qualifying plan, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. We also offer pest damage repair and prevention services to address structural concerns that result from infestations, including TAP Insulation and attic insulation services for damaged areas.
