Termites often swarm in warmer weather and after a rain shower to start new colonies. The swarming event can be brief, so even if you do not see flying termites, you are likely to see the discarded wings around window sills, doors, heating vents, bathtubs and sinks after a swarm takes place. Termite swarmers use their wings to move away from their original colony. Their wings break off and they pair up and find locations with a wood source where the male and female can begin a new colony.

Insects in your kitchen? Certainly not as invited guests! However, they are versatile little creatures and can sometimes slip past even the most fastidious home owner. New methods of pest control are undergoing rigorous testing required by regulatory agencies and, out of this process, come methods for controlling pests with less insecticides using such materials as baits and dusts. This trend toward using more non-chemical pest control techniques is popularly known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
