What do I do if I see winged insects that look like termites?

Don’t panic yet. There are ants that start new colonies in a similar manner as termites, so there’s a chance you left the window open and a few winged ants flew in by mistake. Winged ants look a lot like winged termites. Here are three big differences in these critters:

• A termite’s rear wings (they have two sets) are the same length as their front wings. In flying ants, the rear wings are smaller than the front wings.
• Termites have wide waists, but ants have wasp waist indentations below their second set of wings.
• Termites have straight, beaded antennae, where ants have antennae with elbows and jointed bends.
