How to tell an ant from a termite?

by

I found this printed on a business card from one the many pest control companies I have used.

Here are some ways do identify the differences:

  • While both species have four wings, termite wings are uniform in size. Winged ants have larger wings in the front than than the pair in the back.
  • Termites antennae are almost straight where the ants antennae are elbowed.
  • Termite wings are twice as long as their body. Ant wings are shorter and more proportionate to their bodies.
  • Ants appear distinctly segmented, because of their thin waist. Termites have a broad waist and are mostly a uniform width along their entire body.
