Termite Control in Ridgewood, NJ

Termites can cause significant damage to a home while giving property owners very little indication that they are there. Subterranean termites, the primary termite threat in New Jersey, typically travel from colonies in the soil to wooden parts of a structure while remaining concealed underground, inside wood, or within protective mud tubes.

Homeowners in Ridgewood should watch for potential signs of termite activity, including:

• Mud tubes along foundations or basement walls
• Discarded wings near windows, doors, or other entry points
• Termite swarmers appearing inside or around the property
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Soft, weakened, or visibly damaged wood

Because termite activity can resemble carpenter ant damage, moisture problems, or ordinary wood deterioration, seeing one of these signs doesn’t always confirm an infestation. A professional termite inspection can determine whether termites are present and identify conditions around the property that may be contributing to the problem.

Horizon provides professional termite control for New Jersey properties, with treatment recommendations based on the location and extent of activity, construction of the building, moisture conditions, accessibility, and other site-specific factors.

For properties where termite baiting is appropriate, Horizon also offers the Sentricon® Termite Baiting System. Sentricon uses the natural feeding and foraging behavior of subterranean termites to spread bait through the colony and can provide continued protection against future termite activity.
