What are termites?
Termites are wood‑destroying insects that feed on the cellulose in wood, paper, and similar materials . In York and Long Island , the most common type is the Eastern subterranean termite , which lives in the soil and builds hidden tunnels into your home. They work in large groups and can silently damage floors, walls, furniture, and foundations for months or even years before anyone notices.

Why Termites Are Dangerous?
Termites don’t just chew baseboards—they can weaken structural beams, floor joists, and support posts, leading to costly repairs or even unsafe conditions. Because they live inside wood or behind walls, you often see no obvious signs until the damage is serious. Eastern subterranean termites are especially aggressive in humid climates, which is why NYC and Long Island homes are at high risk.
Why New York & Long Island Are at Risk?
New York City and Long Island have many older homes with wooden‑frame construction, basements, and crawl spaces , all of which are attractive to termites. The humid summers and seasonal rain keep the soil moist , which is ideal for Eastern subterranean termites . Subdivision work, landscaping, and construction work, landscaping, and construction can also disturb termite colonies and push them toward nearby homes. Regular inspections and early treatment are the best way to protect your property.
