We Know Murphy's Termite Problems

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been protecting Murphy homes from termite damage for years. We understand how New Jersey’s climate and soil conditions create perfect environments for termite colonies to thrive.

We’ve seen what happens when termite problems go untreated—foundation damage, compromised floor joists, and repair bills that reach into the tens of thousands. That’s why we focus on thorough elimination and long-term prevention rather than quick fixes that don’t last.

Our team knows the difference between subterranean termite mud tubes and carpenter ant damage. We can identify drywood termite pellets and locate entry points that other companies miss.

Our Termite Treatment Process

Thorough Inspection, Targeted Treatment, Ongoing Protection

We start with a comprehensive inspection of your property, checking foundation areas, crawl spaces, basements, and any wood structures where termites typically establish colonies. You’ll know exactly what we find and where the problems are located.

Treatment depends on what we discover during inspection. For subterranean termites, we create chemical barriers around your foundation and treat soil areas where colonies are active. Drywood termite treatment involves targeted applications to infested wood and entry points.

After treatment, we monitor your property to ensure the termites are eliminated and don’t return. You’ll receive documentation of our work and recommendations for preventing future infestations. Most treatments show results within days, with complete elimination typically achieved within weeks.

What's Included in Your Treatment

Your termite treatment includes a thorough property inspection, identification of termite species and infestation levels, and a customized treatment plan. We use professional-grade termiticides that aren’t available to consumers—products that actually eliminate colonies rather than just repelling individual termites.

For subterranean termites, we treat soil areas around your foundation and any wood-to-ground contact points. Drywood termite treatment focuses on infested wood structures and potential entry points. You’ll receive detailed documentation of what we found and what we treated.

We also provide guidance on moisture control and structural modifications that make your property less attractive to termites. Murphy’s humid summers and older housing stock create conditions that termites love, but simple changes can make a significant difference in preventing future problems.

How do I know if I have termites in my Murphy home?

The most common signs include small piles of wood-colored pellets near wooden structures, mud tubes along foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, and small holes in wood surfaces. You might also notice discarded wings near windows or doors during spring swarming season. Subterranean termites leave different signs than drywood termites, so professional identification is important. Many Murphy homeowners mistake carpenter ant damage for termites, or miss early signs of infestation until damage becomes extensive. If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t wait—early detection makes treatment more effective and less expensive.
Subterranean termites live in soil and build mud tubes to reach wood structures, so treatment focuses on creating chemical barriers in soil around your foundation and treating areas where wood contacts ground. Drywood termites live entirely within wood structures and don’t need soil contact, so treatment involves direct application to infested wood and sealing entry points. Murphy homes often deal with both species, which is why proper identification during inspection is crucial. The treatment chemicals, application methods, and follow-up monitoring are different for each species. Using the wrong approach means the treatment won’t work and you’ll continue having problems.
You’ll typically see reduced termite activity within a few days, with complete elimination achieved within 2-4 weeks depending on colony size and species. Subterranean termites often show faster results because they carry the treatment back to their colonies. Drywood termites may take longer since they live in smaller, isolated groups within wood structures. The key is that treatment continues working long after application—modern termiticides remain effective for years, providing ongoing protection. We schedule follow-up inspections to confirm elimination and monitor for any new activity. Don’t expect overnight results, but you should see clear progress within the first week.
Modern termite treatments use targeted applications that pose minimal risk to humans and pets when applied correctly. We use products specifically designed for residential use, applied in areas where termites travel rather than throughout your living spaces. Most treatments involve soil applications around your foundation or direct wood treatment in areas like basements and crawl spaces. You can typically remain in your home during treatment, though we may recommend staying out of specific areas while products dry. We’ll provide specific safety guidelines based on the treatment methods used at your property. Professional application is much safer than attempting DIY treatments with over-the-counter products.
Treatment costs depend on your property size, infestation extent, and termite species involved. Most Murphy homeowners invest between $800-2,500 for comprehensive treatment, which is significantly less than the thousands you’d spend repairing termite damage. Subterranean termite treatment typically costs more due to the soil barrier work required, while localized drywood termite treatment may be less expensive. We provide detailed estimates after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Consider that termite damage can cost $10,000 or more to repair—professional treatment is insurance for your home investment. Many treatments include warranties or follow-up monitoring at no additional cost.
Professional termite treatment provides long-term protection, but annual inspections help catch new problems early. Murphy’s climate and soil conditions mean termites will always be present in the area, looking for new opportunities to infest homes. We recommend yearly inspections to monitor for new activity and ensure your treatment barriers remain effective. Some homeowners choose ongoing monitoring services, while others prefer annual inspections only. The key is maintaining awareness—termites can establish new colonies or find new entry points over time. Regular inspections cost much less than dealing with new infestations, and early detection makes any necessary retreatment simpler and less expensive.
