Termite Swarms
How do I know if I have swarming winged ants or swarming winged termites?
Winged termites have pigmented bodies with broad waists and two pair of wings that are equal in size and shape. Subterranean termite swarmers have bodies about 1/4 inch in length. The swarmers quickly shed their wings after a brief flight. Winged ants have pinched waists and two pair of wings that differ in size and shape (front pair is large, hind pair is much smaller).

Subterranean Termite Infestations
How quickly can termites infest a house? If a residence has been treated and there is no evidence remaining of termite infestation, how soon could they reappear?
Subterranean termites can infest a structure during its construction phase if they are present in the soil. Whether the home is occupied or not makes no difference to the termites. Conventional soil barrier treatments to control subterranean termites do not eliminate the termite colony.
Signs of Termite Damage
Signs of Termite Damage
Termites are serious business for property owners, causing an estimated $2.5 billion in property damages and repair costs annually – that’s more than the cost incurred from fires or windstorms combined.
General Biology and Habits
I have active termites, how much damage will they do in a month's time?
Subterranean termites would not be expected to create significant damage in a few months time, but rather over an extended period of time if left untreated. Individual termites randomly visit the various feeding sites established by the colony, rather than returning to the same location day after day.
Conventional and Baiting Treatments
Is the Terminix Termite Baiting Program effective if I have a colony right underneath my house?
Termites exhibit continuous and random foraging behavior, so even when they have found a good source for food, they constantly look for more. We strategically place the Terminix baiting stations in areas where the termites are likely to forage.
Conducive Termite Conditions
When is the best time to treat for termites?
The best time to treat for termites is before they infest a structure. Termite control is an ongoing process; a control plan should be in place to avoid an infestation and damage repair costs.
