These winged adult termites leave their colony each spring and head out to form a new colony and reproduce. When these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/termite-control\/termite-identification.php\" target=\"_blank\">termites<\/a> have established their new colony, they typically shed their wings and stay put.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Do They Come From?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Swarmers emerge from their present colony before taking off to start a new one. If you see piles of clear wings on or near your window sills, this can mean that swarmers have decided to set up a new colony inside your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Wings Always Mean Termites?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flying ants also have wings, so seeing discarded wings in your home doesn\u2019t always mean you have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/11\/do-termites-make-noise-can-you-hear-them\/\" target=\"_blank\">termites<\/a>.
