Termites are a threat to your home structure but Tulsa pest control will make sure that they do not damage it. They silently eat away the wood that you use to make your home causing significant damage. Termite infestation often goes unnoticed before it is too late because they consume wood inside out. Winged termite or termite swarmers pose a significant threat as they seek to establish a new colony. They spread the population of termites by making new infestations in new places. Tulsa pest control will remove them before they go to this stage.
Functions of termite swarmers
Termite swarmers have the ability to fly as they have two pairs of wings. All of the wings are equal in size and shape. These wings are often transculent. Termite swarmers look for a place where they can build a new colony and upon reaching there, they shed their skins. The wings pile on our windows or doors which means the presence of an infestation. Termite swarmers have body structures different than winged ants. Their antenna is straight, unlike the ants. Their waist is also straighter than the ant swarmers.
Swarmers are mostly ¼ to ½ inches long but their size varies depending on the species. Subterranean termites are smaller than drywood termites. Swarmers take flight during the warm months when there is humidity in the air. Subterranean termites swarm in spring while drywood termites swarm later in the year. To prevent termite infestations you can seek professional help from Tulsa pest control. Swarmers termites emerge from their colony in numbers to find mates. They mate midair and look for suitable places to start their new colony. They are not good flyers though, as they depend on wind to land in new places. This means that they might land near the original colony.
