Termite Swarming season is here.

Termite Swarmers, or winged reproductive termites leave the colony once a year and swarm to a different location where they shed their wings and pair up to start a new termite colony.

Winged termites are often mistaken for winged ants.  Here’s how to tell them apart.  Ant wings are different sizes; termite wings are all the same size.  Ants have elbowed antennae; termites have short, straight, beaded antennae.  Don’t be fooled by color or size:  Ants can vary in size, and winged termites can be brown or black.  The most glaring difference is that ants have segmented body parts and termite swarmers have one straight body.

Termite swarmers mean that you have an active termite infestation on your hands.  Call today for a free estimate.
