As spring turns to summer in Texas, so begins a lesser-known but important seasonal event—termite swarm season. At Homes by Faircroft, we’re committed to keeping our homeowners informed and protected.
What Is Termite Swarm Season?
From March through June, especially after periods of heat and rain, termites begin their annual migration. During this time, you may notice what appears to be flying ants around your property. In many cases, these are actually swarms of reproductive termites—a normal part of their life cycle as they search for new nesting sites.
Is This a Cause for Concern?
Not necessarily. While the sight of swarming insects can be unsettling, it’s important to understand that swarming termites do not indicate an active infestation. A licensed pest control professional can inspect your home and confirm that there are no signs of active termite activity.
What You Can Do
You can take proactive steps to ensure your property remains safe and pest-free:
- Get regular inspections by licensed pest management professionals
- Continually monitor your property for any signs of infestation
If you notice any of the following signs, contact a licensed pest management professional immediately:
- Mud tubes on walls or baseboards
- Unexplained or sudden wood damage
- Bubbling or blistering paint
- Small piles of what looks like sawdust near wooden surfaces
Our Commitment
At Homes by Faircroft, we’re dedicated to keeping homeowners informed and empowered to maintain clean, safe, and comfortable living spaces. While termite swarms are a seasonal and temporary occurrence, it is important to stay alert for any signs of infestation.
If you notice anything unusual or have concerns, we recommend contacting a licensed pest control professional right away. Your peace of mind and the protection of your home are our top priorities.
