Adult reproductive termites are dark-brown to blackish insects. Commonly referred to as “swarmers”, the job of reproductive termites is to mate and start new colonies. Termite swarmers may or may not have wings, as their wings often are shed shortly after flight. Termite swarmers can enter homes through open doors or windows. Termite swarms can occur throughout the year, but are most commonly seen between the months of May and June in Charleston, SC.

Termites work 24 hours/7 days a week at damaging the wood in and around a structure. Five billion dollars of damage is the estimate each year!
