TERMITES
The vast majority (almost safe to say all) homes
experience termites and treatment. If you are buying a home older than 10 to
15 years you should expect ongoing or past termite activity. It is a fact of
life in most regions of Texas.
  
Pictures of swarmer or reproductive
termites. They only keep their wings for a few hours. The
vast majority die before finding shelter. They are a scary experience but are
not harmful. Just vacuum them up. No need to spray pesticides. Then call your
pest control company so they can locate the activity and perform professional
treatment.
Their are various types of
termites and their distribution is spread throughout Texas.
