Termites swarming southern Mississippi

Termites are a homeowners worst nightmare, but this time of year Formosan termite swarms can be spotted in southern parts of Mississippi.� This subterranean variety has spread to 25 counties since it was first detected in 1984.� They nest and forage in the soil, but if they find a source of moisture above ground, they can become independent from their mother colony.

Thankfully, the swarming season is short.� The majority will remain outside.� They’re highly attracted to light, so if you keep your exterior lights off, you might just avoid getting bugged out.
