Early Swarms, Bigger Risks: The New Termite Threat
Termites in California are now swarming earlier due to warmer winters and longer humid periods.
Earlier Swarms will lead to:
Faster colony growth
Longer survival cycles
➔ Earlier infestations inside homes
➔ Stay ahead by scheduling inspections before swarm season begins.
Termites often begin in outbuildings like sheds, decks, and fences because these structures provide soil contact, moisture, and undisturbed wood.
Landscaping choices such as heavy mulch, wooden borders, poor drainage, and firewood storage can attract colonies.
Once established outside, termites gradually expand toward the home. Regular inspections, moisture control, and professional termite protection help identify colonies early and prevent damage.
