Termites and Other Pests

Protect your home by watching for these signs of termites:

  • a temporary swarm of winged insects around your home
  • discarded wings near doors and windows
  • mud tubes in the basement or crawl space
  • hollow sounding wall studs

Termite or ant?

Winged termites are usually only 1/8 or so in length, and have no "waistline." Their wings are long and of equal length.  Ants are often several times larger.  They have elbowed antenae and three distinct body segments, with very slim waists.  Their front wings are much longer than the back ones.  Termites break off their wings; ants do not.

Check out the Termite Institute for identification help.


We offer FREE home and commercial inspections for termites.
