flying insect

The first sign of a ant infestation flying is usually the sighting of numerous workers throughout the home. However, insect the presence of workers alone is not conclusive evidence that a colony is flying established within a structure. Carpenter workers tend to roam far and wide looking for food, and some transient workers are sure to enter any home located in a wooded area. Signs of an active infestation include the presence of fibrous sawdust insect beneath slit-like openings in wood members and faint, rustling noises in walls and woodwork. A positive indication that an active, mature infestation is present is flying the emergence of large winged ants from walls, ceilings, insect or crawl spaces. ant galleries in wood have smooth flying surfaces and can be differentiated from subterranean termite damage by the absence of "mud" in the galleries. Ants normally excavate wood that has been softened by decay or other insects, however, they will tunnel into sound wood when conditions are favorable. Nests and galleries may be located a considerable distance from the point or points of entry. In addition to structural lumber, sites such as hollow-core doors, window headers, wall voids, and foam panels are insect particularly attractive to ants.
