You know summer is only a few weeks away or is already here when ....

You look at the kitchen window and turn on the outside light and discover millions of flying termites are attracted to it ....

This happened here last night (between 10pm and they disappeared by about 2am) , I actually saw some flying about in the kitchen and lounge room , on landing on my computer screen , so I investigated and found the kitchen light has attracted them , so the inside lights went off , and the outside porch light went on ..... looked like their were thousands of them .... woke in the morning to find dead termite in the sink , on the benches , on the floor (lino and carpet) and all over the window cill)....

Must still be a colony in the ground nearby (on in the old timber framed shed the guy down the back has - in his house , he is housing comm) .

None in my house ( is off ground on brick piers) and I am under often enough (can see easily of there is trail going up the bricks) , never has been.
I should warn the new folks next door though .... as they have been into that house previously and done damage.
