All Ways Exterminating Responds to Subterranean Termite Swarm at St. John–Incarnation Lutheran Church

Date: May 16, 2025

Location: Lynbrook, NY

When staff at St. John–Incarnation Lutheran Church in Lynbrook began noticing black insects crawling and piles of tiny wings in the hallway, they knew something was wrong. They called All Ways Exterminating, and our team quickly confirmed what they feared—subterranean termites had invaded their space.

Inspection Findings

“We found wings scattered and live termites crawling in the hallway,” said technician Howie Ryder. “It was a textbook sign of a colony preparing to expand. We knew immediate action was needed.”

The presence of discarded wings indicated a termite swarm in progress. This often happens in spring, when reproductive termites (called alates) leave their colony to form new ones. Swift identification and treatment are critical to stop the spread.

Our Treatment Approach

All Ways Exterminating implemented a complete termite treatment plan designed to eliminate the existing colony and prevent future infestations. Using environmentally conscious, state-of-the-art techniques, we protected the church’s structure while respecting its historical and spiritual importance.

Protecting Community Landmarks

Churches and older buildings are especially vulnerable to termites due to their wood construction and age. All Ways Exterminating is proud to serve the community with pest control services that preserve these essential spaces for future generations.

St. John–Incarnation Lutheran Church remains open and active thanks to prompt treatment and excellent cooperation with the church leadership.
