I got em! I'm going to spot treat the area where we found them. PSA Get your house checked! It's swarming time. They swarmed into my attic and were falling through the bathroom fan vent. And yes, some fell on my head. Yeah-gross!
Mike at Insect Assassins is my bug dude just in case anyone needs a good reference. Man, if it's not one thing, it's another. I may have to throw myself one of those charity bbq's to raise money for home repairs this year Emoticon 4951

Wow, that sucks. Good thing you caught it now. That can get real expensive. When they built our house they treated the studs against termites. 4951

@topcat:
We found them outside near a tree. So I'm right there with you! Is there anyway you can send me the number for the people you use? I've never had to deal with termites before so I wouldn't have a clue who to call.

@KTownTexican: If you have them, it varies depending on the size of your house. My house would be 675 for the whole thing. Idk about prevention.

You can spray it yourself.
 
@fcabanski: They dig a trench around the whole house and insert injection rods into the ground. Termites are subterranean, so their nest is deep. I suppose if you had the equipment, we're willing to do the work and bought the insecticide, you could diy. For all that trouble and expense, it would prob be worst to have it done. I bought some diy spray from bugtime to do the entire perimeter in hopes that I can keep the critters away. That alone was almost 100.00.

Had a similar situation about 4 years ago...Termites flying out of attic vents one week when it was starting to heat up...After some investigating and a little research, got some insecticides and did quite a bit of digging...Surprisingly, it worked!...Spent less than $60, and haven't had an issue since... 4951

'Looking for a new pest control company... Thanks! I'm going to look into Insect Assassins. I don't normally judge something by it's name or cover, but I whole-heartedly like the name of this company. (Sorry about the termites.  That really sucks). 4951

@alecktra: Mike really is a great guy, and stands behind his work.  Like I said, he's not a friend of ours or anything, I just like to help promote KW folks who provide excellent service. Especially if they are a small business owner. Good luck!
