It's not completely uncommon for this to happen, but a [Massachusetts termite swarm](http://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-termite-control/) generally occurs in the spring. ![massachusetts termite swarm](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hub/460754/file-2615952353.jpg?width=320&name=file-2615952353.jpg "massachusetts termite swarm") An early termite swarm season is usually indicative of a mild winter. Although we've experienced period of frigid air and snow, compared to last winter, this has been a much easier season for pests. Termite swarms are the reproductive stage of termites. Although they will die on their own (usually near a source of light such a window frame), they are indicating that a larger problem exists. Since termites are subterranean, we don't commonly see them unless a swarmer gives us this "courtesy warning sign." If you look at the picture above, you can see how it's easy to mistake a [Massachusetts](http://www.burgesspest.com/company/service-areas/) termite swarm for a flying ant. Both look similar, but have some key differences in body shape and wing size. Burgess Pest Management is the [Massachusetts termite control leader](http://www.burgesspest.com/).
