Post-treatment swarming


It's normal for termites to swarm up to 8-10 weeks after an effective termite treatment, which is called post-treatment swarming. This is because the treatment kills worker termites, which weakens the colony, and the alates, which can survive in drier environments than workers. The wood in your home will no longer provide food for termites, so you shouldn't have to worry about re-infestation.


The goal of termiticide use is to create mortality among the workers and the other caste members of the termite colony, weaken the colony, and eventually eliminate it.


Here are some other reasons why termites may swarm:

Organ adaptation

Worker termites can survive the first few days after treatment because their organs have adapted to dry conditions.

Treatment time

It can take some time for the treatment to reach the queen, so it might not look like it's working.
