TERMITES
Termites are wood-destroying insects that feed on cellulose found in wood, paper, and other plant materials. They often live underground or inside wood structures, making them difficult to detect until damage has already occurred. Common signs of termite activity include mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings, and bubbling or peeling paint. Left untreated, termites can cause extensive structural damage to homes and buildings over time.
Swarmers
Swarmers are reproductive termites that leave an existing colony to start new colonies. They are most commonly seen during the spring and early summer, especially after warm temperatures and rain. Swarmers have wings and are often mistaken for flying ants. Seeing swarmers indoors or around your property may indicate an active termite colony nearby. After swarming, they shed their wings, which are commonly found near windows, doors, and light sources.
