Just killed 20 of them suckers after I let the pup out. This is the worst I've seen them in BR.

I think they might be the local variety instead of the usual formosans we usually see swarming.

Swarming again in Covington- yeah they seem smaller this time. I just don’t recall it happening at different times- usually happens 2 or 3 days and then see you next year

I am in Niceville FL and they are swarming here too. I have seen this before. They will all be dead by morning. Just turn out all your lights except one and they will all gather there.

I feel like this thread is racist in some way.

I used to hit swarms crossing the causeway and have to go straight to the car wash... those little frickers hit like someone threw a bucket of paint

This. My first year in NOLA I went to a Zephyrs game and got absolutely swarmed. Those frickers were slapping you in the face constantly, and if you got something from the concessions you’d end up eating a termite. And I thought they were like ants before then, but they’re fricking huge. Still haven’t seen anything like it in BR

When I lived in Nola, my landlord used to call me and say ‘turn all those fricking outside lights out’ when they would swarm
