What’s up, everybody, we’re back again. It’s the week before March and we are getting into the termite season, we’re getting into the season of bugs where, basically I’m able to pay some bills soon. But uh, we’re looking forward to springtime, you can see the time are really changing. Again, this week we’re going to talk about we’re still going to talk about termites. And why do they swarm? Why did you see these little ants with wings crowding around your window. And as it gets a little warmer, as Quincy is going to talk about some, we’re going to talk about these ads that you may see, you may see him that you might not even know you have them, but you may see them probably get a little warmer, high 50s. Low 60s, Quincy, you can start us off with that brother. Yeah, so and I should introduce you first. Hey, Quincy now.
Yeah, so man, it’s so every, every everyone knows that, especially in a pest industry, or if you’ve owned a home for a long time you’ve ever experienced, like Bernie said, it’s its wings, that’s the first thing people say, when they see swarmers. They say, Oh, it looks like ants with wings. And that’s something that, you know, has to be determined whether it’s actually an or if it’s a termite. But around this time of year, that’s why we chose to do this podcast is because around this time of year, especially going into March, April, people call most pest control companies, their phones will start ringing off the hook because they have people calling in about termite swarmers are or what appears to be Ansible wings. And just to give an idea of what it looks like. This is a basically what it is why did they swarm why this time of year is the swarms are happening, like once once a year, and is normally in the spring, it could happen again later on in the season. But this is what people see, typically, is they look like ants with wings. And this is this is the call we’ll get you know people say though I have these ants are flying around like Verner said around the window around a doorway. But why does this happen? That’s that’s, that’s like the most important thing. So we’re gonna establish why this happens in this episode, and then some other episodes we have, we can go further into what happens with turn my stuff. So the first reason why this happens, because as was mentioned earlier, the weather gets gets warm, it starts to get warm, you have a couple consistent days of 50 degrees, 60 degrees. And there’s different things involved barometric pressure and all that stuff that causes these termite swarms. That kind of happen, and normally happens like in the afternoon, or sometimes in the early evening. And the number two reason, really, which is one that should alert a home owner is that if they have a swarm, it’s termite swarm, when the original colony has reached maturity has reached capacity. So a lot of times termite colonies will swarm once you have about maybe three to five years old termite colony that would cause them to to do that to swarm their whole purpose is to get out to the light and go out into the grass and reproduce and make more colony. So the reason why I don’t know why they’re attracted to light, but that’s typically what happens. So there are going to be around a window or doorway. Sometimes it’ll happen outside your house, you know, in the the late evening, still in the daylight hours late evening. And number three basically had a purpose of swarmers is to create new columns. That’s to create new columns, which can never be a good thing. If you own a home, right. And you hit you see a termite swarm. So the next slide presentation or the next slide, rather, I’ll live burning it break this down, but it is what it means for you as a home owner. If you see if you see swarming activity inside your house,
