Genesys Pest Control

I’ve been getting lots of texts and calls so figured I’d do a public service announcement. We are in the start of Formosan termite swarm season (their mating season). Here are a couple points for informational purposes. The winged termites don’t have mouth parts to chew the wood themselves and as such, aren’t much more than a nuisance. They are a sign though that a colony of the destructive pests are near enough to make it to your structure. They are attracted to lights so turning off outside lights on the house will help make your house less of a landing zone. I’ve added a few pictures to maybe help you see what they look like swarming on the outside and what they look like after they land and break off their wings.

Been coming across a few posts of people spotting a new red/ black ant so figured I’d do another PSA. This red black velvet ant looking bug is actually a female wingless wasp. It has a long retractable stinger and super bad venom. Can cause very bad blistering/swelling wherever it stings. Watch so your kids do not pick it up. Best thing to do if found near or in your home is to spray it or kill it. Obviously if found outdoors let it live and avoid it
