Suburban Exterminating has been an innovator in the control of termites on Long Island, including areas in Brookhaven, Islip, the Hamptons, Smithtown, and Babylon, which cause more than $2 billion in building damage each year in the United States. The Sentricon Termite System is the only treatment that eliminates the entire colony of termites. Suburban Exterminating’s Termite Detecting Beagle, Seemor, as featured in National Geographic magazine, is another termite exclusive as he works alongside inspectors to locate active termites behind inaccessible areas.

Conventional Termites
A conventional termite treatment creates a barrier around the home that keeps termites from gaining access. A Liquid Barrier treatment begins by creating a trench, roughly 4" wide x 6" deep around the foundation of the structure. In certain instances, the soil adjacent to the foundation is rodded into the ground every 12". The termiticide is applied into the trench and filled with dirt. Areas with concrete such as, basement areas, garages, patios, porches will have small holes drilled, to permit a "barrier" to be installed. Your Suburban Pest professional will provide a diagram outlining your home or business and explain the treatment supplies and techniques used.
