Termites cause billions in property damage every year — and Newton's older homes are especially vulnerable. Our licensed termite control specialists provide thorough inspections, effective treatments, and long-term protection for Newton, MA homeowners.
Call (617) 249-7397Termites are one of the most destructive pests that can affect a Newton, MA home. These silent destroyers work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, consuming the wood structure of your home from the inside out — often for years before any visible damage becomes apparent. By the time most Newton homeowners discover a termite infestation, significant structural damage has already occurred. Newton Lawn Care & Landscaping provides professional termite control services that detect infestations early, eliminate active colonies, and protect your Newton home from future termite damage.
Newton, Massachusetts has a significant termite risk. The city's thousands of older wood-frame homes — many built before 1960 — provide ideal termite habitat, and the area's climate supports active termite colonies from spring through fall. Subterranean termites are the most common species in Newton, entering homes through soil contact, foundation cracks, and wood-to-ground contact points. A single termite colony can contain hundreds of thousands of workers, and multiple colonies may be active on a single Newton property.
Don't wait for visible damage to appear. By then, the cost of repairs will far exceed the cost of treatment. Call (617) 249-7397 now to schedule your termite inspection in Newton, MA. Early detection and treatment is the most cost-effective way to protect your home.

(617) 249-7397How It Works
Our licensed technician conducts a thorough inspection of your Newton home — foundation, crawl spaces, basement, attic, and all wood-to-soil contact points — to detect termite activity and damage.
Based on the inspection findings, we develop a targeted treatment plan — liquid barrier, bait stations, or wood treatment — appropriate for your Newton property's specific termite situation.
We apply professional-grade termite treatments precisely and thoroughly, creating a complete barrier or bait network around your Newton home to eliminate the colony.
We install monitoring stations and schedule follow-up inspections to verify colony elimination and provide ongoing protection against future termite activity.
Recognizing the early signs of termite activity can save Newton homeowners thousands of dollars in structural repairs. The most common signs of subterranean termites in Newton homes include: mud tubes on foundation walls, basement walls, or crawl space piers — these pencil-width tunnels of soil and wood particles are the termites' protected highways between the soil and the wood they're consuming; hollow-sounding wood when tapped, indicating that termites have consumed the interior while leaving a thin outer shell; discarded wings near windowsills or doors, left behind by reproductive termites (swarmers) after their mating flights in spring; and small piles of frass (termite droppings) that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds. If you notice any of these signs in your Newton home, call (617) 249-7397 immediately for a professional termite inspection. Early treatment is far less expensive than structural repair.
Modern termite control offers several effective treatment options, and the best choice for your Newton home depends on the type and extent of the infestation, the construction of your home, and your preferences. Liquid barrier treatments involve applying a termiticide to the soil around and under your Newton home's foundation, creating a continuous chemical barrier that kills termites attempting to enter. This approach provides immediate protection and is highly effective for active infestations. Termite bait systems involve installing bait stations around the perimeter of your Newton property, which attract foraging termites and deliver a slow-acting toxicant back to the colony, eventually eliminating it entirely. Bait systems are ideal for long-term protection and monitoring. Wood treatments apply termiticide directly to infested or at-risk wood members, providing localized protection. Our Newton termite control specialists will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.
The best termite control is prevention. Newton homeowners can significantly reduce their termite risk by eliminating the conditions that attract and support termite colonies. Key prevention measures include: maintaining at least 6 inches of clearance between soil and any wood elements of your home's structure; removing wood debris, stumps, and dead roots from your Newton property; fixing leaks and drainage issues that create moisture near your foundation; ensuring proper ventilation in crawl spaces to reduce moisture; and scheduling annual termite inspections to catch any new activity early. Our lawn care and landscaping services can help address many of these conditions — proper grading, drainage improvements, and debris removal all contribute to a lower termite risk for your Newton property.

Termite inspections are a critical part of the real estate transaction process in Newton, MA. Most mortgage lenders require a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection report before approving a loan on a Newton property, and buyers are wise to request one regardless. Our licensed termite inspectors provide thorough WDI inspections and reports that meet all Massachusetts requirements. For sellers, a pre-listing termite inspection can identify and address any issues before they become deal-breakers during the buyer's inspection process.
