Humidity will be going up from now until the morning. It’s one of their triggers.

Could be but I remember them coming out mid May. I’m sure it’s different each year depending on conditions.

I remember one year at a Cinco De Mayo outdoor concert and they got bad.

Yes. They are up here in Bossier. Have a separate 2 car garage at end of my drive way. Saw them crawling out from behind the wood frame of the garage door and flying off. Had pest control company out 2 days later treating. Expensive as shite

Some swarm during daylight hours, depending on the species.



Easterns swarm during the day. Formosans swarm at dusk.

Was outside yesterday and saw a swarm in my front yard. Freaked out but saw they were coming out of a crape myrtle tree.

This. People told me that the swarmers aren’t the kind that will enter your house and do damage. BS. Swarming kind got in our house last year and nested in our molding. Pest control guy said the swarmers can absolutely get in and do damage.
