Termite Control & Prevention in Lafayette, NJ

Protect your biggest investment with Howey Pest Solutions—local, family-owned termite inspections, treatments, and prevention for Lafayette and surrounding Sussex County communities.

In our area, Eastern Subterranean termites are the most common. They live in the soil and enter structures through hidden mud tubes, causing costly damage before they’re noticed. We offer thorough inspections, proven treatments, and long-term monitoring to stop active colonies and help prevent future infestations.

Signs You May Have Termites

  • Winged “swarmers” (especially spring) or discarded wings on windowsills
  • Mud tubes on foundation walls, sill plates, or in crawlspaces
  • Soft, blistered, or hollow-sounding wood; peeling paint-like damage
  • Pinpoint holes with fine, dusty frass (other wood pests can appear similar—inspection confirms)

Our Termite Control Process

  • Inspection: Full interior/exterior review of foundation, sill plates, garages, basements, crawlspaces, decks, and utility penetrations.
  • Customized Plan: We explain findings and recommend the best approach for your structure and soil conditions.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Monitored Bait System: Stations placed around the perimeter to eliminate colonies and provide ongoing protection.
    • Liquid Termiticide: Targeted trenching/rodding at soil contact points; interior foaming or wall-void spot treatments if needed.
  • Follow-Up & Monitoring: Re-inspections and station checks to confirm control and maintain protection.
  • Prevention & Proofing: Moisture reduction, wood-to-soil contact corrections, downspout/gutter guidance.

Prevention Tips

  • Maintain gutters & downspouts; divert water away from the foundation
  • Reduce wood-to-soil contact (deck posts, steps, mulch depth)
  • Fix leaks and address high humidity in basements/crawlspaces
  • Store firewood off the ground and away from the home

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your termite treatments safe for families and pets?

Yes—our products are EPA-approved and applied by trained technicians following label directions. We’ll review any short re-entry guidance if interior areas are treated.

Do you offer a warranty or protection plan?

Yes—eligible properties can be enrolled in an annual protection plan that includes monitoring and a service warranty. We’ll outline terms after inspection.

Will you need to drill or trench around my home?

It depends on construction and activity. Liquid treatments require trenching/rodding (and sometimes small drill holes). Bait systems minimize drilling and provide continuous monitoring.

How long does termite elimination take?

Liquid treatments begin working immediately at treated zones. Bait systems eliminate colonies over time; many homes see clear progress within weeks, with ongoing protection through monitoring.

Can you provide a WDI/termite inspection for a home sale?

Yes—real estate (WDI) inspections are available by appointment. Ask us about scheduling and report timing for closings.
