Flying Ants
Termites and ants are pretty much the same biologically, their main difference being the pinched body.
If the bodies of the flying ants you are seeing are straight, then you are seeing termites.
If the bodies of the flying ants are pinched and contain segmented body parts, those are ants.
Another way to tell flying ants from flying termites would be the color of their head. If the color of the head is red and has a straight body it is a drywood termite swarmer
in California Drywood Termite Swarmers appear July – November. If you believe that you are seeing flying ants or termites don’t hesitate to give us a call as damage can happen quickly.
