Florida’s warm, humid climate is a haven for many forms of wildlife, including termites. As we enter the peak of termite swarming season, homeowners across the state need to be more vigilant than ever. Swarming termites can cause significant damage to properties if left unchecked. This is where LydyBug Pest Control comes in, offering expert services to safeguard your home against these destructive pests.
Understanding Termite Swarming Season
Termite swarming season typically occurs in the warmer months, primarily from March to July, although it can start earlier and extend later in Florida due to the state’s unique climate. During this time, mature colonies release winged termites, also known as swarmers or alates, to establish new colonies. These swarmers are attracted to light and are often found near windows, doors, and light fixtures.
The Threat to Your Home
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can go undetected while causing significant damage to the structural integrity of your home. The most common types of termites in Florida are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood termites. Subterranean termites are particularly notorious for their ability to cause extensive damage quickly. They live in colonies that can number in the millions and feed 24/7 on wood and other cellulose materials.
Signs of a Termite Infestation
During swarming season, it’s crucial to keep an eye out for the following signs of a termite infestation:
- Discarded Wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings, leaving piles of them near windowsills, doors, and other light sources.
- Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel between their colony and their food source. These tubes are typically found along foundations, walls, and other structures.
- Wood Damage: Termites eat wood from the inside out, often leaving a thin veneer of wood or paint intact. Tap on wood surfaces to check for a hollow sound or visible damage.
- Frass: Drywood termites produce frass, which are small, pellet-like droppings, often found near infested wood.
