FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EZ Press Release  -- September 20, 2016 Homeowners in Sydney, beware! As the springtime weather and the warmth begins to arrive, vigilance is called for. This is because the better weather brings with it a different form of transformation for our local termite populations.

Termites, being terrestrial and small, tend to move at an incremental pace. And at times, food sources and population growth can cause them to desire a change of venue. When this happens, you can encounter swarms of termites who have taken to the air, intent on starting a brand new termite colony.

These termites, or alates, as they’re called in their flying state, seek out a venue for this new franchise after the new queen has been impregnated mid-flight. The clock is now ticking: once the spot is chosen, they industriously get to work to find themselves a new abode. Remember, termites require a very specific temperature to survive.

However, they leave behind signs of their arrival. Prior to landing and beginning construction, these alates will shed their wings, discarding them near their newly chosen locale. These long, slender wings are often all shed within a small space. And if this space is on your property, it is the smart homeowner who takes note of this.

The potential damage caused by a termite infestation is widespread loss of property value, and potentially, structural integrity of the home. Maintaining vigilance against flying termites this spring is a key method of preventing them from causing your home to come to harm. If you are worried about a potential infestation, contact RIP Pest Control today for a thorough termite inspection, and stay safe from this voracious pest.
