What Are Swarmers?

“Swarmers,” even the word makes me want to scratch and swat at the air! Tis the season for swarmers! So, what are swarmers? Well, this is a reproductive stage of ants and termites when they first leave their colonies and still have wings. Their wings are chewed off or shed off naturally soon after leaving, but while they have them, they swarm. While ants are annoying and nobody wants them inside, termites are a much bigger problem, so how can you tell them apart to decide which pest infestation you have and; therefore, what type of pest management you need?

Ant Swarmer vs. Termite Swarmer Visually

Swarmer Pest Problem Identification

Seeing them side by side, they may seem pretty easy to identify, but when you’re fighting for your life in a swarm, identifying them at that moment isn’t your first instinct! So, let’s discuss. 

Ant Swarmer Pest Problem Identification

Ant swarmers have antennae that are bent at a 90degree angle. The pinched waist is also a giveaway that you’re dealing with ants. It’s unusual to find one with the wings still completely intact. If you do, the front wing is larger than the back one. The males will retain their wings after landing by the die after mating.

Termite Swarmer Pest Problem Identification

Termite swarmers will show with straight antennae along with a solid or straight abdomen. The pinched waist will not be present on a termite. The wings of termites are very veiny compared to the ant. Wings may be all you find when dealing with termites, they shed their wings rather than chew them off. So, finding veined wings may be a sign of an already hidden problem if they’ve found a place to start their colony.
