The answer to 'termite season' is that termites are active year-round, but certain times of year see increased termite swarming and activity. Termite season typically peaks in the spring and early summer, when warm, humid weather triggers swarming flights. This is when termites emerge from their colonies to mate and establish new colonies.
Homeowners should be vigilant for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes on the exterior of the home, wood damage, and swarms of winged termites. Regular inspections by a professional pest control technician can help detect termite infestations early and prevent significant damage.
