Termites or Ants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you see small flying insects in your home, how do you know whether you need ant or termite control in Freehold NJ<\/a>? Although these pests share some physical similarities, there are some important differences between the two.<\/p>\n

You can tell whether your home has termites or flying ants<\/a> by looking for these differences:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Antennae: Termites have straight antennae, while flying ants have bent ones.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wings: Termites have wings of equal size, which they shed after coming out of their nests in spring. Flying ants have wings of unequal size, with one set being larger than the other. Flying ants don\u2019t shed their wings after emerging from their nests.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Waist: Termites have a straight waist, while flying ants have pinched ones.<\/p>\n

You can also tell the difference between termites and flying ants<\/a> by paying attention to their swarming behavior. Termites tend to swarm during spring, especially when it\u2019s rainy and temperatures become warmer. Flying ants swarm at different times during the year, depending on their species.<\/p>\n

Whether you have termites or flying ants, it\u2019s important to have pest control experts come to your home for treatment. Both of these pests can cause damage to your home. Termites eat wood, while flying ants damage it while building their nests inside walls and other structures.<\/p>\n
