May marks the peak of termite swarm season in New York City and surrounding areas. As these destructive pests take flight in search of new nesting sites, homeowners may suddenly notice winged termites inside or near their homes—often mistaking them for flying ants.
At Advanced Pest Management, we want you to be prepared. If you’re seeing discarded wings on your windowsills or a sudden cloud of flying insects, it could be an early warning sign of a serious infestation.
What Are Swarming Termites?
Swarming termites are reproductive members of the colony that take flight in warm, humid conditions—just like NYC’s spring weather. Their goal? Establish a new colony, often inside the wood framing of your home.
Once termites swarm, it usually means a mature colony is already nearby. That’s why early detection and prevention are so critical.
How to Tell If You Have Termites
Discarded wings near doors and windows
Mud tubes on foundation walls
Bubbling paint or hollow-sounding wood
Small pinholes in drywall
Drooping or warped flooring
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a termite inspection immediately. We offer detailed evaluations that can detect termite activity before extensive damage is done.
