NYSDEC registration checked: #18576
The termite in Long Island houses is the eastern subterranean termite. It lives in the soil and comes up into the wood, so every treatment on this page works at the soil line around the foundation. If you are still not sure what you found, start with our termite identification page.

Liquid barrier or bait stations
Liquid termiticide. A treatment injected into the soil along the foundation, the first option on the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station’s list.
Bait stations. Stations set in the ground around the house, checked on a schedule. Knockout Pest Control in Uniondale says it uses the Sentricon and Trelona bait systems. Both price lists above add a yearly monitoring fee for as long as the stations stay in.
The experiment station’s advice is to settle the method with the company before anything is applied, and to get that method named on the contract.
Why a do-it-yourself treatment can cost you at closing
The experiment station does not suggest treating termites yourself. Beyond the cost and the odds of missing the colony, it notes that a homeowner’s own treatment will not satisfy home inspection requirements when the house is sold. If you might sell, keep the company’s treatment record and renewal paperwork in the file with the deed.
How to compare termite quotes
The experiment station recommends interviewing several companies. Hearing the same story from more than one tells you what is real, and it shows you the normal price range. Throw out the quotes that are far higher or far lower than the rest, and do not let anyone rush you into signing the same day.
Put these questions to each company:
- Liquid or bait, and why for this house?
- How many linear feet are you treating, and does that include the garage and any porch or slab?
- What does the warranty cover: re-treatment only, or damage repair too?
- What is the yearly renewal or monitoring fee after the first year?
- What is your NYSDEC registration number, and does it list category 7c, Termite Control? Termite work is its own category in the state’s NYSPAD records.
Keeping termites from coming back
The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station’s prevention steps, for after the treatment is in:
- store firewood and lumber off the ground and away from the foundation
- use mulch sparingly and keep it back from siding and wood trim
- point downspouts away from the house and keep the soil along the foundation dry
- keep plants and ground cover at least 3 feet from the foundation
- do not let vines grow on the house, and do not use foam board insulation below grade
