Termites in Montville and Morris County
Morris County homes, including many in Montville, sit on wooded lots with decks, landscaping timbers, mulch and firewood near the house. Those are exactly the moist wood sources that support subterranean termite colonies.
Eastern subterranean termites — the termite found throughout New Jersey — usually swarm from March to May on warm days after rain. A swarm inside the house, or piles of shed wings near windows, means a mature colony is close by. The colony lives in the soil and keeps feeding all year; in heated basements activity often continues through the winter.
Signs of termites to look for
- Mud tubes on foundation walls, piers, sill plates or inside the basement (what mud tubes mean)
- Swarmers or shed wings near windows, doors and light fixtures (flying ants vs. termite swarmers, wings in the house)
- Hollow or soft wood in baseboards, trim, framing or floor joists
- Bubbling paint or sagging floors that can look like water damage (how to tell the difference)
How it works
- Exterior: Foundation, sill plates, wood-to-soil contact, decks, porches, steps and garages.
- Interior: Basement or crawl space, joists, beams and accessible framing for tubes, frass and hollow wood.
- Moisture: Leaks, damp wood, gutters and grading that attract termites.
- Report: Findings with photos — and the NPMA-33 when a lender needs it — sent to whoever you choose.

Professional Termite Inspection — FAQ
How long does termite treatment take?
Most homes are treated in a single visit, usually a few hours depending on size and construction. Bait systems are installed in one visit and then monitored.
Is termite treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians according to the label. We'll tell you if anyone should stay out of treated areas and for how long.
Will termites come back after treatment?
A properly applied treatment protects the home for years, but conditions like mulch against the foundation or leaks can invite new activity. We give you a prevention checklist and protection options.
Do you treat termites in Montville the same day?
When the schedule allows, yes — and if you've found swarmers or active damage, call and we'll get you in as soon as possible.
How do I know if I have termites or flying ants?
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist and two pairs of equal-length wings that break off easily. Flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist and uneven wings. If you are not sure, save a few in a bag and call us.
