Termite Control
in Parsippany, New Jersey

Located on the shores of Boonton Reservoir, Parsippany gifts its residents plenty of natural areas like Troy Meadows Nature Preserve to explore and appreciate. Unfortunately, those wooded areas, paired with the area’s warm, humid summers, mean it’s just as much a paradise for termites as it is for people.

Whether you own a home in Lake Hiawatha or Troy Hills, you’re at risk of a termite infestation. Businesses aren’t exempt either—termites don’t care where they get their next meal from or how many structures they destroy. That means home and business owners must be proactive to keep them at bay with termite inspections in Parsippany.

What Are Termites and Why Are They Problematic for Parsippany Property Owners?

Termites are small insects, usually no larger than half an inch long. They eat cellulose, a fiber found in wood and wood-based objects like paper. While they prefer moist or decaying wood, they’re happy to eat other objects, like drywall, insulation, and structural beams. That means your fence, old porch, or even your home could be on their menu.

Subterranean termites can be found across New Jersey. While they take tiny bites as they go, they’re active 24/7 and can cause significant damage in months to years before they’re ever detected. That damage usually isn’t covered by insurance, either, since it’s considered a preventable maintenance issue rather than a sudden accident.

Signs You Have a Termite Infestation in Parsippany

If you aren’t looking for small signs of a termite infestation, it could go undetected for years. That’s years of extensive damage accumulation right behind your floors and walls. It’s wise to look for signs of infestation regularly as part of your general house upkeep. Watch for:

• Live or dead bugs, or their shed wings.
• Frass (droppings), tan pellets that look like piles of sawdust or sand.
• Areas where wood sounds hollow when knocked on.
• Bubbled or peeling paint caused by high humidity in their tunnels.
• Mud tubes, small tunnels that termites use to travel safely.
