Every year, termites cause billions of dollars of structural damage, and property owners spend over $2 billion treating these destructive pests. Preventing an infestation can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars out of your own pocket since many insurance companies will not cover termite damage. The destruction can be extensive, requiring repairs to structural beams, windows and even interior wall framing, which is why it’s vital to have a professional termite inspector visit your home annually.

Fortunately, Thumbtack — a convenient home services app used by millions — makes it easier than ever to find top-rated termite inspectors in the Patchogue area. Each pro on Thumbtack has their own profile with price information, allowing you to find a termite inspector who works within your budget.

While the cost for inspection will vary depending on various factors — such as your home’s size, if there are hard-to-reach areas and whether you have additional outbuildings to inspect — the average fixed cost for a termite inspection in the greater New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA region is $126, according to data obtained by Thumbtack.

AAA ABCO Termite & Pest Control, Inc.

  • Customer review: "I contacted Eric about concerns I had with termite baiting stations in my new home. He immediately provided me a thorough write-up on what I should look out for and the services they could provide. I finally got around to contacting him a month later, and to my surprise he remembered me. He walked me through my options and jumped on FaceTime with me to do a consult of the stations around my home. He concluded that the stations were 15+ years old and not worth being serviced. He was very honest in saying that it isn't worth having new stations installed, because we obviously haven't had any issues this whole time. He also told me what to look out for in the future. I was so impressed by how genuine he was and almost wish I had a reason to hire him!"
