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

That the swarm didn't originate in your house.

Those are absolutely termite swarmers.

So should I have a reason to worry or just keep an eye out for more?

It is very common for termites to swarm shortly after your house is treated. When the colony begins to die off the queen will sent out a distress signal to the adult termites to flee.
Also the wings on termites do not stay on for a long time. So if they don't have wings it's no big deal.
Subterranean termites are starting to swarm. You may see them flying around on a warm evening after a rain fall. If it's just a few in your house it's probably swarmers and no need to worry. Especially if you treated your house. On the other hand if there are thousands your house may be infested but at least if you had it treated they will die off quickly.

I'd panic.
j/k.
What you have there is fairly common. Still not a bad idea to have the company that did the treatment for you to come out and take a look.

You got me. I'll give them a call tomorrow. I've saved a few of the boogers in a ziploc bag

I honestly think it's merely a coincidence.
As stated before, that swarm more than likely came from outside of your home.
If you're that worried about it, call your company and have them come out to take a look. It should be free of charge. Odds are they'll probably try to talk you "off the ledge" and say that it's not a big deal seeing them, especially since they just performed a treatment.
Dominion 2L is not a bad product at all, but other products would have been a better choice.

Anytime.
One other thing; Typically, had the swarmers originated from inside your house, you would have seen WAY more than just the few dozen you have.

Ditto!
I'm actually in the process of trying to get licensed in Louisiana. I can't believe the hoops I have to jump through.

Really?!?! I would imagine the testing would be the same. What's the issue?
Posted on 4/19/16 at 10:05 pm to jembeurt
Getting to the test in the first place. I have all the prerequisites needed and supplied the proof of them in Jan. Now, 3 months later, a 5 person panel votes up or down, if I even get to take the test. Crazy, huh?

Is that better than Suspend SC or Talstar?

Will definitely do.

If either of y'all get certified in Texas let me know, we are looking for another technician.
Posted on 4/19/16 at 10:09 pm to stuntman
That's freaking nuts! I'd figure they'd let anyone with the credentials because all they want is the money.
Hopefully all goes well and you're allowed to come aboard. How long have you been licensed in Florida?
