Termites can crawl on you, especially if you’re near a heavily infested area. But they don’t target humans & aren’t interested in biting or feeding on skin like some other insects.

Why Termites Might Crawl on You

• By Accident – If you disturb a colony, like during renovations or yard work, termites might end up on your clothes or skin.

• Swarmers Indoors – During mating season, winged termites (called swarmers) may fly into your home. They’re attracted to light and might land on you by mistake.

Termites are not aggressive toward humans, don’t carry diseases, & aren’t known to bite. But if you suspect an infestation, it’s important to act fast, they can cause serious structural damage over time.
