Did you know that in South Texas, Subterranean Termites start swarming as early as February? On warm days following a rain, mature colonies release “swarmers” to find new homes—and your foundation could be their first stop.
Are you seeing these signs? Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized tunnels running up your foundation or walls. These are “termite highways” used to stay moist while they eat your home! Discarded Wings: Finding piles of tiny, silver-clear wings on windowsills or near doors? That’s a sure sign a swarm just landed. “Flying Ants” that aren’t ants: Many homeowners ignore termites thinking they are just ants.
Quick ID Guide: Termite vs. Flying Ant
Body: Termites have a thick, straight waist. Ants have a “pinched” hourglass waist.
Antennae: Termites have straight, beaded antennae. Ants have “elbowed” or bent antennae.
Wings: Termite wings are all the same length. Ant wings have longer ones in front and shorter ones in back.
Don’t wait for the damage to become visible (and expensive). iPro Pest Control knows the specific challenges of Corpus Christi soil and humidity.
