In this myth-busting episode of Bug Busters Pest Pulse, host Court Parker dives deep into one of the most common — and costly — pest misidentifications: termites vs. ants. That swarm of winged insects in your home might look like flying ants… but what if it’s something far worse?
You’ll learn how to confidently distinguish between these two pests using key visual cues like:
Wing shape and symmetry: How termite wings differ from ant wings
Antennae and waist structure: The easiest anatomical clues to check
Color and size variations: Why these bugs aren’t as similar as they look
Swarming behavior: What timing and location can tell you
We’ll also unpack:
Why early termite detection is critical (and how much damage they do silently)
How carpenter ants compare to termites — and when both are a problem
The importance of professional inspections for accurate identification
If you’ve ever hesitated to call for pest control because you weren’t sure what you were looking at — this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to act quickly and smartly.
➔ Tune in now to gain expert-level insight into identifying and addressing ant and termite activity — before small sightings spiral into major infestations.
