Termite Control in Glassboro
What Are Termites?
Termites are wood-destroying insects responsible for an estimated $5 billion in US property damage every year — more than fires and floods combined. In South Jersey, subterranean termites are the dominant species, building underground colonies and entering homes through foundation cracks, expansion joints, and wood-to-soil contact. Drywood termites infest wood directly and often go undetected for years until structural damage is extensive.
Signs You Have a Termite Problem
- Mud tubes running along foundation walls or crawl space piers
- Hollow-sounding wood when knocked — especially floor joists and sills
- Discarded swarmer wings near windowsills or entry doors in spring
- Frass (tiny wood-colored pellets) below wooden fixtures
- Paint that bubbles or appears moisture-damaged without a plumbing source
- Doors and windows that suddenly stick or frames that appear warped
Why Professional Treatment Is Essential
Consumer-grade sprays kill surface insects but cannot penetrate termite colonies living deep in soil or inside structural wood. Effective termite elimination requires specialized equipment — soil injection rods, foam applicators, bait stations — combined with the expertise to locate and neutralize the queen and colony. Attempting DIY treatment often displaces termites into other areas of the structure, worsening long-term damage.

Free On-Site Inspection
A licensed technician inspects your entire property — foundation perimeter, crawl space, attic, and all wood structures — using a moisture meter and probe to detect active or prior termite activity.
Species Identification
We identify whether you have subterranean or drywood termites. The treatment protocol differs significantly between species, and correct ID ensures we choose the most effective method.
Written Treatment Plan
You receive a detailed written quote outlining your options — liquid soil barrier, bait station program, foam injection, or combination approach — with clear pricing and timelines.
Certified Treatment
Our NJ-licensed technicians execute the treatment. Soil termiticides create a continuous chemical barrier around the foundation. Bait stations are installed at perimeter intervals to intercept foraging workers.
Follow-Up & Annual Protection
We schedule follow-up inspections to confirm colony elimination. Annual protection plans include unlimited retreatments between visits, giving you continuous coverage and peace of mind.

How much does termite treatment cost in New Jersey?
Termite treatment in NJ typically ranges from $500 to $3,500 depending on the size of the home, severity of the infestation, and treatment method. Liquid soil treatments tend to be a one-time cost; bait programs are priced annually. A-Altair provides free on-site inspections and written estimates before any work begins.
How long does termite treatment take?
A standard liquid termiticide treatment for an average single-family home takes 4–6 hours. Bait station installation is completed in 1–2 hours. You can remain in your home during treatment, though we ask that children and pets stay away from treated soil until it dries (approximately 30–60 minutes).
What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?
Subterranean termites — the most common in NJ — live underground and build mud tubes to reach wood above ground. Drywood termites live inside the wood they eat and are often found in furniture, hardwood floors, and roof timbers. Treatment methods differ: drywood typically requires localized foam injection, while subterranean termites respond best to soil barriers and bait systems.
Do I need to leave my home during termite treatment?
For standard liquid soil treatments, you do not need to vacate. If tent fumigation is required for a severe drywood infestation, you will need to leave for 2–3 days — but this is rarely needed in New Jersey. Our technician will walk you through any precautions specific to your treatment before the job starts.
