Termites have straight antennae, a broad waist, and wings of equal length, while ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and wings of unequal length if present — termites also tend to appear near wood damage or mud tubes, which ants don't create.
Small reddish-brown insects, tiny dark spots (fecal matter) on mattress seams, and small red bite marks appearing overnight in a line or cluster are among the earliest signs, and catching these early makes treatment significantly easier.
Yes — ants and mosquitoes are typically most active in warmer months, while rodents often move indoors seeking shelter in fall and winter, and termites can swarm seasonally depending on region and species.
