Unlike most pests, the colonialist woodcutters known as termites don’t go to sleep or stop working during harsh winter months. Though they are active all year round, termites become noticeably active in late April and early May. This period is known as the start of the termite season.
During termite season, winged reproductives of established nests fly from the established colony with their mates to start up new colonies of their own. These winged pests, otherwise known as swarmers, are much easier to spot when invading human homes than their peasant worker counterparts.
Every year, termites cost homeowners in the United States alone over five billion dollars in damage and control. Furthermore, termite damages are typically not covered by homeowners insurance meaning that if you suffer a termite problem, you will have to pay for damages out of pocket.
The seemingly obvious solution to termite problems is to keep a watchful eye for these invaders. However, they are notoriously difficult to detect until they're well established on your property. Termites rarely, if ever, venture out of the walls and into a person’s line of sight. If termite swarmers make themselves visible, know that there is an active termite colony nearby and you likely have a serious problem on your hands.
