Here are five facts ontermite swarms in Massachusetts.
- When will you see a swarm? Subterranean termites typically swarm on warm, calm, sunny days following a rain. It's possible that you could experience a swarm as early as late February and it could last through May.
- Best time to see a swarm? Subterranean termite swarms frequently happen between mid-morning and mid-afternoon and may last several hours. Sunny days tend to promote activity.
- Do termites swarm indoors? Termites swarming indoors will attempt to get outside by flying toward light around windows and doors or even toward lights that are on in the room. They will die on their own, and it tends to happen quickly.
- Will they swarm in the basement or main floors? It could be either or both. Many people experience a termite swarm but never even notice it. Often, people will see wings on the floor and assume it was just a flying ant swarm.
- Should I self-treat? Never. Termites cause severe damage to your home and only a reputable pest management firm like Burgess Pest Management should implement a curative solution.
