Yes, that's what we did. Turned off the outside lights, sprayed insecticide outside around the doors and vacuumed up the ones that got inside with the shop vac. It worked pretty well. They shed millions of wings, nasty!
I had never been through anything like that before. It was horrible, fortunately our house is cement so I didn't freak out about a threat to the building, but am still concerned that any wood furniture inside or outside is at risk.Â
Do you know if pressure treated wood is resistant to termites? Or furniture made of Teak is resistant to termites?Â
Our new kitchen was built with PVC cabinets, so that should be safe.  I used to say that living on the beach, you learn to like wood and plastic. Now I lean towards PVC and stainless steel.
