Serving East Tennessee since 1971
In Knoxville and nationwide, termites are a year-round pest problem. That said, termites often swarm in the warmer months of the year. Because people can spot termites swarming occasionally, it is said that spring or summer is “termite season”.
As unfortunate as it is for property owners, termites can be more or less active throughout each season. This makes them a near-constant threat to homes all year long in Tennessee. Even if you don’t spot swarming termites in the spring or summer, they are still active in the fall and winter.
It’s true that termites swarm and prefer warm weather days. In fact, most termites prefer daytime temperatures that are warmer than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Subterranean termites also are drawn to more wet climates. Due to these preferences, it’s no wonder why Knoxville TN is such a hot spot for termite activity.
Termites generally swarm on a warm afternoon after a rainy day with no wind present. This gives them plenty of opportunities to swarm in the Tennessee spring or summer.
