When you live in Florida, you get used to the idea of bugs—but few are as destructive, expensive, and sneaky as termites. And during termite swarm season, the risk to your home rises fast.
If you’ve ever seen a cloud of flying insects near your home and thought, “Just gnats or flying ants…” - think again. It might be termites, and they could already be working their way into your walls.
Here’s what you need to know right now to protect your home before the damage is done.
What Is Termite Swarm Season?
Swarm season is when reproductive termites (also known as alates) leave their colonies in large groups to start new ones. This usually happens in spring and early summer, especially after heavy rain and during warm, humid days — which makes Florida the perfect setting.
Swarming termites don’t live long, but their appearance is a red flag that a termite colony may already be nearby — or worse, in your home.
Signs of Termite Activity to Watch For
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can do serious damage without being noticed for months. Here are key signs of an infestation:
-
Swarming termites or discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures
-
Mud tubes along your foundation or walls
-
Hollow-sounding wood or wood that crumbles easily
-
Bubbling paint or areas that resemble water damage
-
Droppings (frass) that look like small piles of sawdust or pepper
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act fast.
