Kearny, NJ homeowners face a serious and often hidden threat: termite infestations. With its aging housing stock, dense residential neighborhoods, and proximity to marshland and waterways along the Hackensack and Passaic rivers, Kearny creates ideal conditions for subterranean termites to thrive year-round. These destructive insects silently eat through wood framing, flooring, and structural supports — often causing thousands of dollars in damage before any visible signs appear. At Sousa Exterminating Co., Filipe Sousa and his family-owned team bring professional, bilingual termite treatment to Kearny residents, delivering fast inspections, proven elimination methods, and lasting protection for your home and family.
📞 Call Filipe — 908-352-7959Kearny's unique combination of geography, housing age, and urban density makes it one of the more termite-prone towns in Union and Hudson County. Much of the town sits near the Kearny Marsh and the low-lying wetlands bordering the Hackensack River, creating high soil moisture levels that subterranean termites depend on to survive and expand their colonies. Neighborhoods like East Kearny, West Kearny, and the areas along Schuyler Avenue and Devon Street are densely packed with Victorian-era wood-frame homes, two- and three-family row houses, and converted multi-family dwellings — many built in the early 1900s with old-growth lumber that termites find especially attractive. Older homes in these areas often have deteriorating wood near soil contact points, cracked foundations, and outdated moisture barriers that give termites easy entry. Even newer construction along Passaic Avenue and the redeveloped sections near the Arlington neighborhood is not immune, as disturbed soil during construction can expose and relocate existing termite colonies. The combination of aging infrastructure and a humid, urban environment makes professional termite treatment essential for Kearny property owners.
At Sousa Exterminating Co., every termite job in Kearny begins with a thorough inspection of your property — inside and out. Filipe examines crawl spaces, basements, attics, window frames, wooden supports, and the perimeter of your foundation for mud tubes, frass, hollow wood, and live termite activity. Once the extent of the infestation is confirmed, Sousa uses a combination of liquid termiticide soil treatments and bait station systems to eliminate active colonies and create a long-term protective barrier around your home. Liquid treatments are applied along the foundation perimeter and at all identified entry points, while bait stations are strategically placed to intercept foraging termites and carry the treatment back to the colony. Follow-up visits ensure the treatment is working and the colony has been eliminated. Termite treatment at Sousa Exterminating starts at $500, with pricing based on the size and severity of the infestation. To schedule your inspection or get a free estimate, call Filipe directly at 908-352-7959. Bilingual service available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Final price depends on the size of the infestation, property type, and treatment method. Call Filipe at 908-352-7959 for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your Kearny home or business.
