📞 Call Filipe — 908-352-7959Union Township's housing stock makes it one of the more termite-prone municipalities in Union County. The township features a dense mix of older single-family colonials, cape cods, and two-family homes, particularly in neighborhoods like Vauxhall, Connecticut Farms, and the areas surrounding Morris Avenue and Stuyvesant Avenue. Many of these homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s, featuring wood-framed construction, wood-to-soil contact at foundations, and aging crawl spaces — all prime entry points for Eastern subterranean termites, the most destructive species found in New Jersey. The Vauxhall section of Union contains a large number of multi-family rental properties with minimal regular maintenance inspections, allowing termite colonies to grow undetected for years. Union's flat terrain and clay-heavy soils retain moisture exceptionally well, providing the damp underground environment that subterranean termites need to survive and reproduce. Proximity to the Rahway River basin further elevates moisture levels in certain areas. Newer construction in Union is not immune either — slab foundations can still be penetrated through expansion joints and utility entry points. Seasonal temperature swings in Union accelerate swarming activity each spring, making early detection and professional treatment essential for homeowners throughout the township.
At Sousa Exterminating Co., our termite treatment process in Union begins with a detailed inspection of your property — inside and out. Filipe and his team examine your foundation walls, crawl spaces, basement framing, window sills, exterior wood trim, and soil contact points to assess the extent of any infestation and identify all active entry points. Once the inspection is complete, we recommend the most effective treatment strategy for your specific situation. We primarily use Termidor HE (fipronil-based liquid termiticide), a professional-grade, non-repellent treatment that termites carry back to their colony, eliminating it from the inside out. For properties with localized infestations or specific structural concerns, we also offer direct wood treatment and foam application into wall voids and galleries. Bait station systems are available as a monitoring and long-term prevention option. Termite treatment at Sousa Exterminating starts at $500, with final pricing depending on the size of your home, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment method required. After treatment, we schedule a follow-up visit to confirm colony elimination and check for any new activity. To schedule your inspection or get a quote, call Filipe directly at 908-352-7959. We serve Union Township in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
