If
you see winged, ant-like insects flying around your property,
you need to know whether they are ants or subterranean
termites. Your house could be in danger. Subterranean
termites account for over 2.5 billion in treatments and
damage annually. No pest is more threatening to a structure
than termites. Even if your building or home doesn’t
have termites, you’ll want to know about termites.
Usually
one of the first signs of infestation is the appearance
of swarmers. This is in the spring for
many such as eastern subterranean termites found in Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Swarmers are termites which are sent
out to start new colonies. Swarms usually generate panic
calls from homeowners who suddenly see what can be thousands
of winged termites appearing in a living room or basement
or even outside.
 
Subterranean
termites live underground or in protected
areas such as wood. There is always at least one
queen and many more reproductives may also be present.
Most people never see a queen, but may have seen swarmers
or workers. The total number of individuals in a colony
of subterranean termites may be more than a million.
Imagine a million termites attacking your home.
