TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is urging homeowners to take steps to protect their homes, as he expects a more active season compared to recent years because of 2008's substantial rainfall.
The department is already getting calls from homeowners asking about the “small insects flying around”. These are termites “swarming”- leaving their colonies to search for new nesting sites. Because the insects do their damage behind walls, many homeowners don’t realize they have a termite problem until they see them flying around their homes. The swarmers are winged, black inspects about ¼-inch long.
The department issued a release about this year’s termite season.
