Termites are a real threat to the integrity of your property. In a dense and diverse city like New York, where buildings range from historic brownstones to high-rise commercial spaces, termite control requires precision, education, and a deep understanding of structural vulnerabilities. That’s exactly what we bring to the table.
As a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Black Widow proudly serves residential and commercial properties across all five boroughs. From Brooklyn basements to Manhattan offices, we’re committed to keeping New York structures clean, sealed, and termite-free—all while reducing unnecessary chemical use.
Termite Services in New York
New York’s mix of aging infrastructure, underground moisture, and shared walls makes it easy for termites to thrive unnoticed. That’s why our termite services are rooted in Integrated Pest Management (IPM)—a smarter, safer way to protect your space.
We help New Yorkers:
- Spot early signs of termite activity before damage spreads
- Identify and eliminate moisture and structural conditions that attract termites
- Implement safe, targeted treatment only when needed
- Learn proper cleaning and maintenance habits to avoid future infestations
- Reduce pesticide exposure while boosting long-term protection
Whether you’re managing a co-op, storefront, brownstone, or multi-family building, we’ll build a plan that works for your space—and your schedule.
The Real Damage of Termites
Don’t let their size fool you—termites are some of the most destructive pests in the world. And in New York City, where older buildings, mixed-use spaces, and shared foundations are the norm, the risk can be even greater.
Here’s what you should know:
- Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage every year in the U.S.—and most of that isn’t covered by homeowners’ insurance.
- A single mature colony can eat through an entire 2×4 piece of wood in just a few months. Left unchecked, they can compromise support beams, flooring, and even walls.
- They’re masters of stealth—most infestations go undetected for years, especially in basements, crawlspaces, and behind walls.
- In a tightly packed city like NYC, one building’s termite problem can quickly become the whole block’s issue, stressing the need of frequent inspections.
- Some NYC buildings have hosted undetected colonies for 10+ years, resulting in six-figure repair costs.
You Won’t See Them—Until You Feel It. By the time you notice signs like buckling floors, hollow-sounding wood, or discarded wings, termites may have already been active for a long time. That’s why early inspection and prevention is critical, especially in a city where space is limited, and every square foot matters.
At Black Widow, we know how to spot the subtle signs, prevent deeper damage, and keep termites from silently destroying what you’ve built.
