Termite Control on Long Island
by Arie Fishon, Founder of AAA ABCO Termite & Pest Control, Inc. (Two of Two)
The science and chemicals have since evolved significantly. Today most of the latest termiticides/insecticides, like BASF Termidor, are non-repellents and don’t kill insects on contact. Companies apply the non-repellent insecticides around the home, and create a ‘treated zone.’ The insecticide doesn’t kill termites on contact. instead the termites don’t ‘ detect tt and pass through the treated area, picking up a dose of the non-repellent, slow acting insecticide. They then transfer it to their nestmates in the feeding mode. Remember, worker termites eat the wood, digest it and feed their nestmates in the colony, and although they are small, they are large in number and worker termites eat wood 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, The non-repellent is a slow acting insecticide and kills the colony through this process. However, today on Long Island that is not the method most commonly used: the termite baiting systems are king on Long Island.
The two most commonly used are BASF Trelona® Advance Termite Baiting System and the Dow-Agro Sciences Sentricon Baiting System. Both systems are installed below ground, around the entire house. The stations are hollow plastic housing with slits on the sides allowing the foraging termites to enter, prebaited compressed termite bait cartridges placed in the cylinder. In the case of BASF there are two large Trelona® compressed termite bait cartridges combined with a slow-acting insecticide which kills termites, allows transmission of the slow-acting insecticide to the nestmates. In fact, termites find Trelona® ATBS faster than they find the leading competitor stations. The stations are placed around the perimeter of the home approximately every 15 feet, and 3 feet out from the foundation. I have seen a tech with the right equipment, complete the installation in under 45 minutes on a small home.
My company prefers a combination approach of a chemical non repellent treatment on the spot where termites are found and the BASF Trelona® ATBS baiting system. Call me on my cell phone and I’ll explain why.

Independent publishing has shifted from a gatekept industry to an increasingly accessible ecosystem. Platforms that reduce technical barriers, simplify workflows, and support creative autonomy are central to this shift.
Yesterday morning, I opened an email that stopped me in my tracks: “Hey Dr. Eric, I didn’t even know you were on yesterday’s call. I really appreciated the informative recap you shared.” There was just one issue. I wasn’t on the call. As I scrolled down, I realized what had happened: my AI assistant had attended, listened, and produced a complete, thoughtful recap—without me even realizing it had stepped in. I replied honestly: “I’m glad you found the recap helpful.Maybe I should read it too—I wasn’t at the meeting, but my AI was.” And that’s exactly the point. For professionals with ADHD, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and other unseen disabilities, meetings aren’t always the challenge—the aftermath is. Notes, follow-ups, and action items can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why I’ve been exploring tools like Marblism, an AI automation platform that: Captures Zoom meeting notes Creates structured, actionable summaries Reduces cognitive load Supports accessibility through automation This isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about ethical delegation, transparency, and inclusive productivity. Sometimes the best AI doesn’t announce itself. It just quietly shows up—prepared. Marblism: A+ for accessibility and automation

At ABCO, we have been at the forefront of pest management for years, and our experience in your homes has allowed us to understand every nook and cranny—where pests thrive and how technology can help keep them at bay. Home automation and integrated pest management can work hand in hand, revolutionizing how we protect our living spaces.
By ABCO Termite and Pest Control When termites invade, the real damage often hides in places you rarely look — behind the walls, beneath insulation, and within the wood framing that supports your home. What looks like a solid wall can actually conceal a thriving termite colony eating its way through the structure, silently and steadily. The photos above show what we often uncover during termite inspections: wood completely hollowed out, tunnels running through the studs, and insulation filled with frass (termite droppings) and moisture damage. It’s a shocking reminder that termite infestations often go unnoticed for years until significant repairs are needed.
