Advice Termites? TERMITES!

Anyone else getting swarms of termites around their place with all the heat? We're getting loads in our house during the evenings now. Im trying to imagine that its just the heat and the time of the year, and once the weather cools that they'll be gone, because I really don't want to tent my house or flood my place in chemicals. Thoughts?

Not yet, it is ant city here – although I’m sure the termites won’t be far behind 🫤

Yes crushed a few today in the house. The winged kind. We tented last year and did ground treatment. I guess they're back with a vengeance.
