Swarming termites and ants can be distinguished by physical characteristics. Termites do not have a waist, as their body is broad and straight, while ants have a narrow, pinched waist. Additionally, termites have straight antennae, whereas ants have bent (elbowed) antennae. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Termites vs. Ants) highlights these differences. Option A (bent antennae) applies to ants, not termites. Option C (narrow waist) also describes ants, not termites.
