Termites Are Active Throughout South Jersey
South Jersey's soil conditions and climate make it ideal habitat for subterranean termites — the most destructive species in the United States. Voorhees Township, Cherry Hill, Marlton, and surrounding Camden and Burlington County communities all sit in high-activity termite zones. Most homeowners don't discover an infestation until visible damage has already occurred.
Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage annually in the U.S. — more than fires and floods combined. Unlike many household pests, termite colonies work silently inside walls, floor joists, and structural framing for months or years before signs become visible.
Signs You May Have Termites
- Mud tubes running along your foundation walls or concrete block
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures
- Blistering or bubbling paint on wood surfaces
- Visible frass (termite droppings) near wood structures
- Sagging floors or ceilings near moisture sources
If you notice any of these warning signs — or if you haven't had a termite inspection in several years — contact SoJo for a professional assessment. We serve Voorhees Township and surrounding South Jersey communities including Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Marlton, Moorestown, and Mount Laurel.
How We Treat for Termites: Trelona® ATBS Bait Stations
SoJo uses Trelona® ATBS (Always-Active Bait Stations) — a proven, professionally administered termite control system. Here's how the process works:
1. Detailed Inspection
Every termite job starts with a thorough property inspection. We assess current activity, identify structural vulnerabilities, locate entry points, and evaluate moisture conditions that may be attracting termites to your home.
2. Bait Station Installation
We install Trelona® ATBS bait stations in the ground around your home's perimeter at regular intervals. The stations contain a slow-acting cellulose bait that foraging termites carry back to the colony. This targets the entire colony — not just the individuals who encounter the station.
3. Ongoing Monitoring
We return on a regular schedule to inspect stations for termite activity, confirm bait consumption, and replenish bait as needed. This ongoing monitoring is what distinguishes a professional program from a one-time treatment.
Why Bait Stations vs. Liquid Barriers?
Liquid barrier treatments create a chemical zone in the soil around your home. While effective, they require extensive trenching and drilling and don't eliminate the colony — they only prevent entry. Trelona® ATBS targets the colony itself. Once the bait is distributed through foraging behavior, it eliminates the colony at the source, providing more complete long-term protection.
