Fumigation for Long Island’s Historic Homes and Artifacts


The Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport

Suburban Exterminating offers fumigation services in the maintenance and conservation of the historic and unique sites on Long Island.  The North Shore of the island, in particular, is dotted with the remarkable estates of the tycoons of the early 20th century, like Vanderbilt and Roosevelt.  There are dozens of museums, art galleries and parks built around these historic sites in hopes of preservation.   For more information on Suburban’s fumigation services, both commercial and residential, call (516) or (631) 864-6900.

Galleries and museums are prone to develop and transfer infestations because:
  • They borrow objects from outside sources
  • Have heavy foot traffic
  • Have dark areas that harbor pests 
  • They store undisturbed materials for long periods of time

At Suburban, trained, certified and licensed fumigation technicians are equipped in the latest technology of fumigation monitoring.  This process was designed to protect products:
  1. in storage 
  2. exhibits 
  3. shipments

Personal collections are highly susceptible, as well, because they are not scrutinized as thoroughly as museum objects.  At the Suburban headquarters in Smithtown, there is a fumigation vault for personal collection.  The vault is 24’ long X 8’ wide X 8’ tall.  All suspected items can be brought to Suburban Exterminating directly for a fumigation treatment and protected with the care and handling your artifacts and prized possessions deserve.
