Those products do kill termites. But there s no way you can use them to protect your home successfully, unless you have the required special equipment. That s why they usually start to swarm every spring, once a colony has reached maturity. This spring s flight is still going on. But Kansans are unlikely to see it, the entomologist said.
Termites are good underground, but they re awful in the air.
They have really fragile wings. And, sexually mature swarmers are attracted to light. So, swarmers don t have the energy to fly fast or far. Their weak flight makes them accident-prone and easy prey for birds. Few survive to start nearby colonies.
