Every spring across Stockbridge and Metro Atlanta, homeowners start noticing flying insects around windows, doors, and lights. Many people assume they are flying ants, but often they are termite swarmers, which can be a serious warning sign.

Termite swarmers are reproductive termites that leave an existing colony to start new ones. If you see them inside your home, it often means termites are already living in the structure or very close to it. After swarming, they shed their wings and search for wood and moisture to establish another colony.

Signs of termite swarmers include:
• Piles of small wings near windows or doors
• Flying insects with straight antennae and equal-sized wings
• Mud tubes along foundations or walls
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped

Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage each year, and most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage. That’s why early detection is critical.

A professional termite inspection can determine whether the swarmers originated inside your home or from a nearby colony.
