We received this email yesterday from a local Austin resident-

“I found a few winged insects in my home tonight and I am unsure if it is a flying ant or termites.” -Cain C., Austin, TX

Great question Cain. How can you tell if it’s a winged termite or a winged ant?

The winged termite and winged ant look similar. They can both be dark in color and have very long wings. Termites, however have rounder bodies and shorter legs, for the most part. Ants are usually larger and have a bend in their antenna. But the biggest give away is that ants will have a “waist” between the upper body and lower body. The ant’s abdomen essentially looks like a big butt. Here is a perfect photo to show the difference:

The difference between a winged ant and a winged termite

My guess without seeing the insect would be that its an ant, as it is ant season right now and those reproductive ants are out looking to establish new colonies. But being either an ant or a termite a winged insect means that they are reproductives so get rid of it and then you better start looking for the main colony.

The University of California suggests an owl as Organic Pest control. I have nothing personal against organic pest control solutions or green pest control treatments. I only have a problem with them when they claim to be effective and they turn out to be very ineffective. But a professor from the University of California says “Why not try it? It seems a great alternative.”

Snakes – Pest Control Trap Catches Water Moccasins

Large Pest Control traps used to catch general pests and monitor pest activity end up catching deadly Snakes – Water Moccasins.  This is not a common occurrence but it is a great idea.  Add a little more protection to your home with simple pest control traps.

Texas residents should beware of the dangers Texas snakes pose.  It is a good idea to keep wood piles, brush, and debris away from your home.  Pest Control Pesticides are not effective against snakes.  Ask your professionals for additional options for snake protection.

There has been a lot of scorpion activity in other parts of the US recently.  Las Vegas and Phoenix are reporting an increased number of scorpion stings and scorpion requests. Austin Texas has certain pockets that are full of scorpions.  For those of us in Austin that must deal with scorpions its a relief to know that there is pest control service that can handle them.

As of right now we have not noted any significant increase in scorpion activity for the Austin area.

Stay tuned for more scorpion reports.
