Why do Termites Swarm?

1 April 2016

If swarming termites emerge from areas in and around your home, do not panic. The swarming termites will drop and die in a short period of time. You may vacuum them up or you can save some in a bag for our company to inspect. They do not eat wood, bite, or sting, they are simply a nuisance. Fortunately swarmers are not capable of constructing mud tubes or causing structural damage to wood.



Swarmers may use an existing mud tube, which workers abandoned after proper treatment, to leave the colony. Reproductives may also move through treated soil. Since reproductives move through soil very quickly, they absorb less of the termiticide than do workers which move slowly. Due to this fast movement, reproductives absorb less of the termiticide and are thus able to exit treated soil to swarm. Reproductives will die soon after they leave the soil either naturally or by the termiticide which they contacted as they moved through the soil.

Only female mosquitoes "bite" because they require blood to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes subsist on nectar. Therefore, it is the female mosquitoes that carry infectious diseases such as arboviruses and parasites that can cause life-threatening illnesses.

Why do I see Termite Swarms AFTER a Termite Treatment?

6 April 2016
The term is POST-TREATMENT SWARM and this is what it means to you: Termites may swarm several weeks after even the most thorough treatment has been rendered to your home. This should not cause undue alarm, but it would help if you understood how and why it happens. If you look at termite advertising, you will notice that the professionals say TERMITE CONTROL rather than TERMITE EXTERMINATION. This is done because the principles involved in eliminating termites from your home are quite unlike those used for any other insect. Your pest control operator made a chemical barrier in the soil around your home. Its purpose is to make it impossible for termites to travel back and forth from the soil to the timbers in your home. 

When is Termite Swarming Season you ask?

5 April 2016
Subterranean termites "swarm" as the weather begins to warm, usually at the beginning of spring after a rain event. Not all termite species swarm at the same time, but for a swarm to occur, the weather must be warm, often following a rain.  If you think you might have swarmer's, give us a call ASAP!! 501-835-1557
