March 2021 Termite Season Is Here

We’ve been getting a lot of calls about termite swarmers and termite activity. In this video you can see worker termites out collecting food for the colony. They feed on cellulose, which is an essential component found in wood. Termites serve a much needed purpose for breaking down dead or decaying material.

The problem with termites is they don’t differentiate between a fallen tree that needs to be broken down and returned to the earth or the floor joists in your house. This is the time of year they become active and send swarmers out to start new colonies.

To the right, you can see an image that will show you the differences between a termite swarmer and an ant swarmer. You need to know the difference so you know your paying for the right kind of treatment. Every year, we inspect for termite quotes because another company identified flying ants (swarmers) as termite swarmers then told the customer they needed a termite treatment right away. By educating yourself you could save yourself hundreds if not thousands of dollars. 

The biggest and easiest difference is the wings. A termite has two sets of wings that are the same length while ant swarmers have two sets of wings at differing lengths. Harder to see but ants have an elbow in their antenna while the termite swarmers have straight antennae. 

The best thing to do if you aren’t sure, is to schedule a Free Inspection with Walker Pest Management and we will be happy to identify the type of insect you are dealing with and give you a quote for the correct type of treatment needed.

"Calling and setting up a 1 year contract was smooth sailing, the operator was very polite and accommodating. Within just a few days (I had to reschedule) a technician came out and explained everything in detail as to what he was doing and planned to do, as well as what to expect in the future. The process was quick and easy. 10/10"

Lukas was exceptional in his treatment of a volatile situation...bedbugs on the loose. I was impressed with his step by step approach towards the goal of total eradication. He took extra time to explain what he was going to do and why he had chosen such an approach. His confidence was both refreshing and reassuring. I would gladly recommend Walker to those who want professional help at an affordable cost.

Outstanding service! I love when we use the online request form they are out the very next day to take care of any issues. Since we been using them we hardly have seen any spiders, or bugs in our house. I personally am freaked out over spiders. So I am highly happy with this company. We used ***** for 5 years but after the constant price increases we went elsewhere. I am much more happier with Walker Pest over any other company. They listen and show they actually care and take care of any problems ASAP!.

On time! Professional service! You can tell a lot about a company you are doing business with by who they send to your house to represent the company and provide the service. Wade was fantastic! He answered all my questions and was very informative on what the service provided. Great company! Would highly recommend!

I have been using Walker Pest control for termite protection and mosquito control for several years. I love working in my yard so I especially appreciate the mosquito treatment. I have always found everyone at Walker to be honest, dependable, pleasant and professional. I was so pleased with their services that I recommended them to my son when he bought his new home, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.
