Why have I never seen these before? They’re suddenly swarming my apartment, coming in through the tiny gaps at the top/bottom of the window net. Must’ve killed over a hundred now. Am I just living in a bad neighborhood?
They’re just mayflies.
They’ll be around until the first week in June or so (usually the same week as CompuTex), when they go REALLY crazy for one night (way worse than now) and then they’re gone until next year.
You can set up a bucket trap for pesky little rodents as well. They crawl up the plank, eat the nuts, see the nuts on the grass in the bucket, jump in, and there’s no grass, just Styrofoam…blub blub blub
FLYING TERMITES (GAMU-GAMO) are a sign that your house or somewhere nearby are TERMITE (ANAY) infested? And NO, these are not FLYING ANTS.
Flying termites are visible when their colony SWARMS. Swarms are provoked by heavy rainfall and warm, temperatures among other triggers. Swarms occur when established colonies produce winged male and female termites in order to reproduce. After these mating flights, fertilized termites shed their wings and go on to establish new colonies. Termites seen flying in a home are indicative of a mature colony. That’s not a good sign.
Bullshit. As the Rocket says, and as every Taiwan veteran knows, these guys turn up literally once a year and then are gone, poof, like Kaiser Soze. I have no idea what they are I only know they come and they’re gone.
Well two or three times at most…but otherwise I’m with ya on this. I’m been seeing them for twenty years so it’s bit late to be warning some of us on here.
I do remember getting freaked out like the silly guy the first time though!
