Couldn't it just be ants?


My thought also. Many species of ants, especially fire ants, grow
wings to swarm then shed them just like termites do. I would not
automatically assume the found wings were from termites.

what totally puzzles me is, the window sill where they
were found, the window itself is closed very tightly -
so no wind gets in.

the sorrounding window frame is painted with no cracks
or crevices for them to sneak into, but yet there are a
lot of wings just laying on the sill.

never saw ants in the house, so i can only presume
the worst.

anyone have experience w/Dow's "Sentricon" system ?
