It is that time of year again, folks. Time to be mindful of termite swarms, that is. It will not be long before the reproductive members of existing termite colonies will take off in order to find mates and establish new colonies. Actually, termite swarms have already happened in New Jersey. Just a week or so ago on a warm Sunday afternoon in March multiple homeowners in Morganville and Southern Jersey reached out to Arrow after observing swarms on their properties. Since it’s only a matter of time before the warmer weather sticks around throughout the state, we thought it a good time to give a refresher on termite swarms.
If you’ve noticed termites swarming on your property or if you suspect that you have an active termite problem, it's important to act quickly to minimize the damage. For accurate termite identification and treatment, contact Arrow Pest Control!
After a termite colony has reached capacity, it is ready for the winged reproductive members (both males and females) to fly away to find mates and start new colonies nearby.
One of the most important things to note during a termite swarm is where they are swarming from. If termites are swarming inside, termites are actively infesting your home and immediate attention is required in order to stop and prevent termite damage to your property. If you witness a termite swarm outside, it does not necessarily mean you have an existing termite problem BUT you should rule it out by scheduling a termite inspection.
If you haven’t witnessed a termite swarm on your property but are slightly concerned that these wood-destroying insects are infesting your home, look for these signs:
