Each year Termites cause more damage to homes than all other natural disasters combined – including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and fires. Although they usually swarm and are most noticeable in the spring and early summer, they can infest your home at any time. To help you identify them, swarming termites are always black. These swarmers are often confused with Carpenter Ants, but unlike the Carpenter Ant, the termite’s body is one solid carrot shape with a small head graduating to a larger bottom, their antenna are straight rather than elbowed and their wings are all the same size. Some termite species are so small that they only need a space 1/64-inch wide, the thickness of a piece of paper, to enter your home. Termites invade homes in search of their favorite food – wood.

Carpenter Ants

Now is the time that carpenter ants are swarming in homes throughout Texas. To help you identify these ants, they have 3 distinct segments to their body shape – as if they have two thin waists separating each segment, their antennas are elbowed and their wings are two different sizes. The presence of these swarming carpenter ants means that a carpenter ant nest resides somewhere in or close to your home. But unlike Termites, Carpenter ants don’t eat wood; instead they chew and hollow out “galleries” or holes in the wood for nesting. These holes are so smooth they look like they were smoothed by sandpaper. They mostly choose to nest in areas between studs or behind insulation in walls. Their nests have even been found in the interior of hollow core doors. They usually prefer high moisture content wood for nesting purposes, so after a spring rain be sure to inspect your window sills, soffits, eves and fascia boards. These ants invade homes in search of food and feed on living or dead insects and nearly all sweets and meats. Carpenter ants usually swarm 3-4 weeks before termites start swarming.
