Flying Termites indicate you have an adult colony that is at least three to five years old.
What does a Termite Look Like? What is the difference between Termites with wings and other termites?
To the left you will see a picture of the different types of termites that make up a colony. Termites in the colony have separate jobs and will be in different locations. When you see winged termites; they are swarmer termites looking to mate and begin a new colony. The swarmer termites indicate you have an adult colony that is at least 3-5 years in age. You will see termites in the yard and in the damaged wood. You may also see ants that will come in after the termites have done the damage and hollowed out sections of wood.

How much does Termite Treatment in Houston, TX cost?
The cost will vary depending on level of infestation. The key is to know and treat as fast as possible. Early detection of Termites may require only a spot treatment and cost in the hundreds to exterminate. Late detection when you have a large enough infestation to see visible damage, may cost in the thousands and this doesn't include the structural repair to wood inside the home. Keep in mind the termites colonize in the yard and spread to the home. By the time you see signs in the home, the colony has spread from your yard and been there over a year.
