Termite Swarm Season CT … What do they look like?
Termite swarming in CT takes place on warm, sunny days usually in the Spring. The swarm is made up of reproductive termites. Future king and queen termites rush out of the ground and pair up. These reproductives, have two pairs of wings that are about twice as long as their bodies. The four wings are all the same size, and fall off soon after emergence. The presence of wings in a basement or other area of your CT home is an indication of termite activity.
Termite colonies form when the king and queen, mate and find a suitable location to start a family. Swarming within a structure will not lead to colony formation in most instances. Termite colonies develop slowly and may not survive the first few years if conditions are unfavorable.
