pests making holes near door
 
Hello,

Yesterday, we saw a swarm of what looked like winged flies/bugs of
some sort. I'm not sure what they are, but they were piled up in a
swarm. A few hours later, there were small holes near the edge of the
door in the wooden part.

Is there something that we should spray to get rid of these bugs/pests
from damaging property? How do we keep them out?

Please no flames. thank you!

You've got termites. Call the Orkin man.

Termites are swarming. You need an inspection, possible treatment.
Termites can do a lot of serious damage before detected. Call a pro.
