a beautiful time of longer, warmer days, immersing flowers and unfortunately swarms of termites. Warmer weather sparks the termites desire to spread their wings and fly, (before they shed them) in search of a new mate, a reliable food source, water and a new home to breed a colony. Guess where they want to settle down? That’s right, your home.

In as little as a few months a colony could cause you thousands of dollars in damages and costly repairs, and most insurance won’t cover it.
