🪰 WINGED INTRUDERS: WHY YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT THESE INSECTS AFTER THE RAIN



As the rainy season sets in, small winged insects are starting to appear in homes and around streetlights at night. These aren’t harmless flying ants—they’re alates, the reproductive swarmers of termites, locally known as “ibos” or “ibus.”

☔ Why now? Warm, humid nights after rainfall trigger alates to emerge and search for new places to nest. Attracted to artificial light, they often swarm around bulbs, windows, and doorways.

🔍 What’s the danger? Once they land, these termites shed their wings, pair off, and begin forming new colonies—often inside your home’s walls, wood, or foundation. This can lead to severe structural damage if left unnoticed.

💡 Expert tip: Spotting alates means a colony could be nearby. Watch out for:
• Mud tubes
• Hollow-sounding wood
• Fine termite droppings
If you notice these signs, contact a pest control expert immediately.

🍽️ In some provinces, these insects are even eaten as delicacies—but their presence should still be taken seriously, especially in residential areas.

Protect your home this rainy season. These graceful fliers could turn into costly invaders.
