Spring-Termite Swarms Should termites begin to swarm inside your home, do not under any circumstance use a fly or other over the counter spray to resolve the problem!
Do not panic! A decision to treat for termites should be made within a couple of weeks of swarming.
They will always fly towards a source of light.
Termites do not bite.
Cover your mouth and nose while inside your home so as not to inhale the bugs.
You can vacuum them up easily after swarming
Swarming occurs in the early-mid morning hours in spring.
Look for the point they are entering your house. If possible plug the entrance point up with anything: heavy tape, putty, bubble gum or something of the like.
Use a solution of water and dishwashing detergent to spray on them. This will fowl their wings and they will die from suffocation. Also, it will not harm you or most of the surfaces in your home. Mix 3-4 tbsp liquid soap per 16 ounces of water. This is safe for you and your family!
Termites and their control is confusing, even for some of those who treat them! Don't expect to be able to compare methods of treatment. Most people make a decision based on what they can compare...and that is the price. Listen to the presentations carefully and choose the one that offers the greatest protection for your home. You get what you pay for!
