Which termites swarm in Carefree, and when

Subterranean termite

Swarms Feb–May

Swarms on warm spring days, usually in daylight and often within a day or two of rain, as the soil warms.

Drywood termite

Desert subterranean termite

Swarms Jun–SepIn season now

Swarms on warm nights after the summer monsoon rains across the desert Southwest.
