Excalibur Pest Control

If you've noticed small winged insects gathering around your porch lights in the evenings lately, you're not alone. This time of year — especially around late May — is peak swarming season for Formosan termites here in the Houston area.

Termite swarmers (also called alates) are reproductive termites that emerge to find new locations to establish colonies. Seeing them doesn't automatically mean your home has an active problem, but it is a sign that termites are active in your area, and it's worth taking a closer look.

A few things to keep in mind: swarmers themselves don't damage wood — they're not the workers. However, they are a sign that a mature colony is somewhere nearby. If you're finding shed wings inside your home or along windowsills, that's worth a professional conversation.

The good news is that a thorough inspection can tell you a lot. We've been working with homeowners across The Woodlands, Kingwood, Spring, Conroe, and Woodforest for over 40 years, and termite season is something we understand well in this part of Texas.

If you're curious about what you're seeing around your home, we're happy to talk it through with you — no pressure, just information.

It's that time of year again in North Houston — the evenings are warm, the neighbors are grilling, and the mosquitoes have decided the backyard is their territory too.

Mosquito season ramps up through May and June here in the Houston area, and our humid subtropical climate gives them exactly what they love: warmth, moisture, and plenty of places to breed. Even a small amount of standing water — a flower pot saucer, a clogged gutter, or a low spot in the yard — can support a surprising number of mosquitoes.

A few simple habits make a meaningful difference. Tip and toss standing water weekly, keep gutters clear, and consider treating birdbaths and decorative ponds with products designed for that purpose. And if you're noticing persistent mosquito pressure despite your best efforts, that's often a sign there's a breeding source nearby that's easy to miss.

We offer customized mosquito services for homes across Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Woodforest, Magnolia, and surrounding areas. No contracts required — just honest solutions tailored to your yard and your life.
