City Guides: Termites Across Spain
Subterranean termites (Reticulitermes spp.) cause millions of euros in damage to Spanish properties each year, especially in older buildings with wooden beams. Spring swarms (typically March–May) are the most visible sign of an established colony. The Canary Islands face additional risk from the invasive drywood termite Cryptotermes brevis.
Risk level, season window and prevention priorities vary with local climate. Pick your city below for a local guide, or start with the complete termite guide for Spain.
