Are these termites?

10 years ago

A few weeks ago I saw what I thought were flies inside my apartment at the window, I killed 10 or so over the course of the day, suddenly over the last few days I've seen 30 or so.

Are they termites? I've just moved to BCN so perhaps they like the climate here? Mainly they have been flying but I found one or two without wings.

Yes, termites. Likely they're in a wall.

i dont doubt her for a second ...

but i cant get to the pix...

hire a pro for eradication ... and not a one time application.. sign up for multiple years ...

if you just moved there.. i am surprised your home inspector did not find them ...

spain???? .. wouldnt have hurt to mention that.. and also.. what is BCN???? .. most likely the former statement might not mean much in spain ....

avengedsixfold, it is easy to confuse winged ants and winged termites.
