Attack of the Termites!

For those of you who are already cringing, it is gross. We learned this week that when termites or "Cupins" in Portuguese hatch in the spring they have wings and are ready to mate. One evening this week, while I was making dinner we had our windows and doors open to get the nice breeze. But of course the sun was already going down and so we also had the lights on. Joe had gone upstairs to change out of his work clothes and when he can down he went into the living/dining room, and immediately made and shrill that I know as the "disgusting noise". Meaning something has just creeped him out, so I turn the corner from the kitchen to see what he is looking at, the reason behind his noise. I then made the same noise upon seeing hundreds on these little big winged bugs swarming around the light above our dinner table, the one we were going to be eating at in a few minutes. So as more of these things start moving in and taking over all the light fixtures in the house, Joe and I try to figure out how to get rid of them! So we decide(still not knowing what they are)to turn off all the lights(which really just makes them settle to the floor) and turn on the porch light to attract them outside. We then closed all the windows and doors, turned the lights back on and decided to smash the stragglers. Luckily we got out the majority the first time. But then learned when you swat at them, their wings fall off and the land on you. Hopefully you can picture the chaos. We eventually killed them all and we able to eat dinner(which I burned since my attention was elsewhere). Luckily for us Cupin mating season only lasted a few days! So what's buzzing around in your house?
