I just turned off all outside lights because they’re insane out there.

North of downtown St. Amant, on the outskirts of Galvez.

I was in the shower and by the time I got out and realized they were swarming
I had stepped on 4 of them with my wet feet.

Annoying.

I did my part!

Killed millions on my way home driving I-12 near Covington to Slidell. Thick swarms for miles and miles. All over the front of the truck, was like driving through rain. Look in rear view mirror and they're blowing around everywhere...its insane

Never seen so many and been in Louisiana all my life 40+ years

Depends. When it's this thick if a swarm, everybody's gonna have them getting in windows, crawling under door seals, coming thru light fixtures and bathroom vents. I'm always vacuuming up bodies the next day. If it looks like there's a whole flying swarm in your house, then you're fricked. Look up YouTube videos of what it looks like when a colony that's inside your walls swarms... You will know.

I just picked a couple off my pillow and sheets before I got in bed. I hate this shite..can we as humanity not find a way to curb this a bit?

Makes me glad I live on the outskirts of rural and my street has almost no street lights (none in front of my house and even i did its sufficiently far away from the house).

All we have to do is ensure outside lights are off and no termites for us

Barely any south of I-10 here in Gods country. I did see one by the light though on my last cigarette and it took everything in my being not to start spraying the house with bugbgon

I got home from work tonight and found 50 wingless termites crawling around on my bathroom floor.
