Ants vs. Termites
Do you have swarming insects around your property? If you see winged ant-like insects around your property, you must know if they are ants or subterranean termites. If they are swarming termites, there is an established colony nearby looking for new nesting areas… and that means your home is in danger!
Worker termites remain hidden inside wood or the earth. This termite resembles a grayish-white ant, except a subterranean termite has a thick waist and straight antennae. His job is to feed the colony; to do this he travels between the ground and wood through tubes.
Soldier termites remain hidden inside wood or the earth. This termite resembles the worker except it has a longer armored head with large jaws to ward off enemies. His job is to defend the colony, mainly against ants.
Young queen termites swarm to and from new colonies. They are brownish or black in color with a thick waist and 2 pairs of wings equal in length. Their only duty is to lay eggs.
