Is it normal to find dead termites inside house after treatment outside?

We had the outside treated about 3 weeks ago and I just noticed about 30 nonwinged bugs dead around base boards by back door. They look like termites but I'm not 100%. If they are termites is this normal to find so many dead inside?

Yes. Get the past guys back out asap

Post a pic of the bugs, the stuff put out will kill pretty much everything it comes in contact with.

Yea, then you might want to think about calling the ghost busters to get rid of those past guys.

Not termites. Ants.

Ok, that is a "non-repellent", so it takes some time for the colony to get wiped out. 3 weeks in still isn't a long enough time to kill the nest.

I thought they were ants at first but I've convinced myself that they're termites

Doesn't look like termites
Posted on 4/19/16 at 9:37 pm to stuntman
Well I hope there isn't a colony.
Posted on 4/19/16 at 9:37 pm to ForeverLSU02
Can you post a close up picture of one of those bugs? Because it looks like an ant.
Posted on 4/19/16 at 9:37 pm to tonydtigr
No pinched waist. Those are subterranean termites.

Is that baseboard next to a door or window? Because, the fact that you haven't seen any wings inside is a pretty good sign.

I think you are correct 
Posted on 4/19/16 at 9:43 pm to stuntman
Next to a window and back door

I hope so, because I own a pest control company.
