It's that time of year again when subterranean termite colonies attempt to go forth and multiply.
Colonies send off large numbers of winged reproductive termites, or swarmers.
And nothing wreaks havoc on an otherwise pleasant spring day like a swarm of termites. Termites are often confused with swarming ants, but there are several key features that are useful in distinguishing termites from ants. Swarming looks dramatic, but the reality is that termites damage wood rather slowly. In the month or so that it might take to select a termite control company, additional damage caused by termites is not likely to be significant. Be patient and take adequate time to select an honest, high quality termite control company.
