Guessing the rain/humidity the last couple days = perfect termite breeding grounds

Yep. Same area. Had a bunch drop from the bathroom vent. Going to nuke the house with Bengal and hope that helps with these swarmers.

Town Center area is thick with them. I turned all the white lights off on the patio, but whenever a motion sensor light on the driveway turns on, they swarm it.

Never seen it this bad, even when others have told horror stories in previous years.

My neighbor’s bug zapper sounds like a chain gun right now.

Can confirm. A shite ton in my bathroom coming in through vents. Happens every year, just a swarm thing, but still annoying.

I've honestly never seen so many before. Granted, this is the first year i've live in Lafayette but they're crawling in my house and are in my bathroom.

Very bad tonight. Every year they swarm. First year in the new home didn’t know how to deal with them. Now, however, I know.

I have a large bug zapper I put away from my house on the kids tree swing set. Turn it on and within 10 minutes even the ones that swarm the eve lights in the front of the house go to the back.

Tonight, however, was some of the worst I’ve ever seen it.

Is it still going out there? So dark here you'd think the power is off. Not turning a light on to find out

I'm in Pride and they're in every corner, by every window and in every bathroom of my house. I can't tell how they're getting in. Been here ten years and never seen anything remotely close to this.

Just had my renewal treatment done a month ag so I guess I'm good, but holy shite this is crazy.

Yep hit me in ponchatoula. Killed as many as I could and vacuumed up the rest. Sprayed some spray, hopefully it dies down.

They'll come in the stove vent too. I just leave the bathrooms and stove vents on low at night, keeps them out.
They're no harm other than a nuisance if your house is treated anyway.
