Swarm Season Has Arrived for Termites

Tuesday, 9th March 2010

Termite swarm season is here, which means termites are coming out of hiding and making their presence known to homeowners. In many cases, people are not aware they have a termite problem until swarm season begins. When they see the termites swarming their homes, they realize they need to use pest control measures to protect their property.

According to Highlands Today, termite swarm season typically begins in March. When the warm weather begins, termites leave their homes to mate and find new accommodations. Those who ignore the swarms can end up with thousands of dollars of termite damage.

Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson states prevention is the key to protecting homes from termites. Those who take the proper preventative measures can avoid dealing with damage caused by termites.

Homeowners must inspect their homes and look for signs of termites. If signs of termites are discovered, homeowners must act quickly in order to prevent damage from occurring.
