Today's swarm risk

Sumter County
Low swarm riskTermites here swarm mainly in Apr–Jun, and that season has passed for this year. Swarms are seasonal, so warm, humid weather on its own won't set one off until the window comes back around.
The 7/100 is a daily index of how favorable today's weather is for a swarm flight where these termites live, not a sign that your home has termites. How this works.
Right now
