Answer 1

You can go to your local extention office to get help. Ants generally swarm in the spring/ Termites in fall. Ants have 3 segmented body parts and have a curve on he antenae. Termites have two body parts. A head and body and a straight antenae. If they are either you will need proffesional help.
They are both wood destroying creatures and the products over the counter will not work.The products may kill the swarmers but they will not cure the problem After swarm season they will seem gone but they aren't. They are still working on chewing up your wood.. If you call a company in call a smaller local co. They have more experience than the larger companies and you will probaly get a better price for a better service. You will find a honest reliable guy here. ipconetwork.org Good luck.
