Talstar P has granules you can use outside. I put out 50 lbs last weekend around the outside of my house.

I wouldn’t necessarily think he has a problem. I have seen that many swarmers that have lost their wings around my house before. My termite guy says not to worry unless they are concentrated in one area. This has been going on for 25 years and my house hasn’t fallen down yet. When they are swarming heavy outside some get into attic vents, etc and work their way down into the house late at night and are wingless but the color of swarmers.

Yeah they were spread throughout the house. Had a bunch caught in some spider webs in my garage too. I find some every year inside my home when they swarm, but this has been the most I've found

They are terrible in St Bernard right now. Had a bunch inside last night so I can’t imagine how many will be inside tonight looking at the swarm. Had to get something out of the truck and came back in covered in them. Do these bastards even serve a purpose? Why can’t we eradicate them? I’m afraid they’ll crawl in my mouth while I sleep.

They chased us inside. At one point I had five or six trying to land on my face.

They're bad in Old Landing right now. I went outside to get something out of my truck and it looks like the power is out in the neighborhood. Nobody has any lights on.

They were swarming outside of Reginellis pizza a little while ago. The street light at Capital Heights and Jefferson was covered up for a bit.
