Spring is the swarming season for most termites in Vamo, Florida
Most species of termites swarm during the spring and summer months. Typically on warm humid days or after a rainfall. Most colonies swarm in the afternoon between March and May but many will continue to swarm till the end of July. But swarming is not the only sign that you may have a termite infestation. Do an inspection for the presence of termites in any rotten wood around your yard. If you break off any part and see a mass of little white things that resemble ants, you are likely looking at termite workers. If termites are nearby to your home, there is a chance they have found their way inside the walls of your home.

Termite wings are translucent and they shed them. If termite swarmers have come and gone, you may find their shed wings on window sills, decks, patios, foundation walls, or even caught in spider webs.

Look for mud tubes that worker termites build from the soil to the wood in order to shelter themselves from the harmful effects of the sun and air. These are most often found in hidden, shady spots on foundations or crawl space cement blocks. Sometimes they are even built up through concrete blocks, making them even more difficult to spot.

You may be able to hear noises in your walls, ceiling or floor if you have great hearing. The noises you hear come from soldier termites banging their heads against the walls to signal danger. It will sound like a faint clicking noise.
