Termite Swarm Treatment in West Palm Beach
Edison Termite & Property Care — Termite Swarm Treatment services in West Palm Beach
A termite swarm is the colony sending out new reproductives to start more colonies. We get called when homeowners see winged insects pouring out of a wall, window frame, or patch of ground, usually after rain. The swarm itself is short-lived, but it's telling you there's a mature colony close by that needs finding.
Which ones you get here
- Subterranean termite swarms: These come up out of the soil or a slab crack, usually during the day in spring, so we're tracing them back to ground contact points around the foundation.
- Formosan termite swarms: These swarm at night, get pulled toward porch lights and windows, and come from colonies that are typically bigger, so finding the source takes longer.
- Drywood termite swarms: These come straight out of the wood itself, often in an attic or wall void with no soil contact at all, which changes where we treat and rules out ground-based methods.
- Asian subterranean termite swarms: These swarm in late winter instead of spring and in much larger numbers, so a light swarm this time of year doesn't mean a light problem.
What termite swarm treatment involves
- Locate the source: We follow the swarmers back to the exact gap, crack, or piece of wood they're coming from, not just the room they're in.
- Clear the active swarm: Live swarmers and shed wings indoors get vacuumed or knocked down so you're not sweeping up insects for days.
- Treat the entry point: We apply treatment directly at the point of emergence, whether that's a soil gap, a slab crack, or a section of wood.
- Check for the colony: A swarm means there's a colony somewhere nearby, so we look beyond the swarm site for the activity that produced it.
When you need it
- Piles of shed wings on windowsills or floors near doors.
- Winged insects swarming around outdoor lights at night.
- A sudden cloud of flying insects coming out of a wall or the ground.
- Live or dead swarmers showing up indoors with no clear source.
What changes the job
A swarm outdoors away from the house is a different job than one coming out of a baseboard inside. Slab homes hide activity under the concrete, so a swarm indoors often means the colony's already inside the structure, not just near it. Older homes with past repairs or additions give termites more joints and gaps to work through, which means more time spent tracing the source before any treatment goes down.
