WHAT ARE THESE BLACK, WINGED INSECTS IN MY HOME?
Commonly referred to as “swarmers”, the job of reproductive termites is to mate and start new colonies. You may see these Termite swarmers with or without wings, they are often are shed shortly after flight. Swarmers can occasionally enter homes through open doors or windows so finding termite swarmers indoors is a NOT a reliable signal of infestation. Termite swarms can occur throughout the year, but are most commonly seen between the months of February and May in Texas.
DON'T TERMITES ATTACK ONLY OLD, RUN-DOWN BUILDINGS?
Termites have been found in buildings as early as four days after construction. Every building fabricated wholly or partly of wood is susceptible.
I FOUND TERMITES IN MY YARD, DOES MY HOME NEED A TREATMENT?
Not necessarily. In Texas, termites can be easily found in soil. Most yards, especially those in older, established neighborhoods, can be deemed as supportive of termite activity. Finding termites in a fence or woodpile, or in landscape timbers, does not necessarily mean that your home needs to be treated, but it does mean that there is termite activity near your home.
