Termite Control in Connecticut & Western Massachusetts
Destroying The Path Of Destruction
Termites can cause costly structural damage to homes in Connecticut and Massachusetts. At American Pest Solutions, we provide effective termite control to eliminate infestations and prevent future damage.
The Eastern Subterranean termite, common in the Northeast, lives 15-25 feet underground and can be up to 50 yards from a structure. Worker termites continuously transport wood back to their colony, which can range from 300,000 to 3,000,000 workers.
Our extermination methods use termites’ natural behaviors against them. Workers ingest wood from your building, return to the colony to feed others, and preen frequently—allowing us to eliminate them efficiently.

Monitoring And Bait Systems
Monitoring and bait systems are designed to detect and eliminate termites already active in and around your structure. At American Pest Solutions, our pest control technicians place Advance® Termite Bait System around the structure to defend against termites 24/7. Worker termites pass these stations, ingest a growth inhibitor, and take it back to their colony on their bodies. There, members of the colony will consume it. Over time, both foraging termites and the entire colony are destroyed.
Liquid Termicide Treatment
A liquid termiticide is applied in an underground "curtain" around the house. Termites pass through the treated soil as they go back and forth from the food source to the colony. They preen regularly, and in the process, become unknowing carriers of the chemical as they deliver food to the colony. The Queen, king, larvae, pupae, and other underdeveloped termites eat the termiticide-enriched food and since the chemical acts like a time-release virus, they slowly begin to die off. Today’s liquid termite soil treatments are relatively fast-acting and very effective. The colony is usually eliminated within 15 to 45 days.
American Pest Solutions uses the smallest amount of natural material possible while still resolving the problem. When conventional, EPA-registered materials are required, we follow very stringent use guidelines so that they pose no threat to people or pets.
Of course, our service technicians will inform you of any specific safety measures that need to be taken.
Signs You Have a Termite Problem
Termites often go unnoticed until they’ve caused significant damage. Watch for these common signs:
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Discarded termite wings near windows and doors
- Mud tubes along walls or foundation
- Small holes or wood that appears blistered
If you notice any of these indicators, contact American Pest Solutions for a professional inspection.

We use industry-leading solutions such as baiting systems and liquid termiticides to eradicate termites at the source. Our preventive treatments help ensure that termites don’t return.
How Can I Prevent Termites from Invading My Home?
Preventing termites starts with reducing moisture around your home and eliminating access points. Homeowners can:
- Fix leaky pipes and ensure proper drainage
- Store firewood away from the house
- Seal cracks in the foundation
- Keep mulch and wood debris away from the home’s exterior
