The Termite Man's Tips
Flying Termites or Flying Ants?
We receive numerous calls from homeowners requesting a termite
inspection. Many homeowners fear the worst and believe that
they are seeing flying termites. Before we inspect and take
your money we want you to be aware that they could be flying
ants.
Flying Ants: Have a wasp waist or hourglass shape.
Flying Termites: Appear to have a head and one body part.
Swarming termites are full grown adults leaving an existing
colony to go start at new infestation. The big concern is the
existing colony and not the flying termites. As most termite
swarmers die from being exposed to the weather and/or elements.
If you are selling, get your inspection done before you accept
an offer, so you know what expenses you may have.
