Termites

What are these black, winged insects in my home?

Adult reproductive termites are dark-brown to blackish insects, about 3/8 inch-long. Commonly referred to as "swarmers", the job of reproductive termites is to mate and start new colonies. Termite swarmers may or may not have wings.

Shortly after they emerge from their underground tunnels, swarmer termites shed their wings. Swarming termites are often confused with ants but can be distinguished by two characters. Termites lack the "pinched" waist of ants. Termite wings are all equal in length and almost twice as long as the body, compared to ants that have distinctly longer front wings. Although termite swarmers can, occasionally, enter homes through open windows, finding termite swarmers indoors is a reliable signal of an indoor infestation. Termite swarms can occur throughout the year, but are most commonly seen between the months of February and May in Texas.

Out of sight and unexpectantly, termites work ruinously at your floor joists, sawing into your wall studs, hollowing out the very heart of your home. Unfortunately, the damage is often beyond repair before you ever realize it. Causing more damage than a natural disaster such as fire, earthquake, any other storm, termites are by far one of the biggest hazards a homeowner faces. Ignoring their hunger for the wood product of your home puts the structural integrity of your precious investment completely in jeopardy.
