Termites are on the Swarm

Spring is the time when most of the most common termites in the country "swarm", or send out winged termites to start new colonies. These termites, known as subterranean termites because they usually are found in or near soil, can cause serious damage. In fact, the National Pest Management Association estimates that termites cause over five billion dollars in damage each year, just in the United States.

Subterranean termites are found throughout most of the country, and the "swarmers" may number in the thousands and emerge usually on warm spring days. Swarmers won't hurt you but they can cause start new colonies which can damage your property. You also might find just the wings of insects after a swarm, the result of swarmers breaking off their wings prior to mating. If you see any swarms of insects, inside or outside, call Anderson.
