SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on May 04, 2013Well spraying directly into the ceiling shouldn't short anything out if things were done properly, but I would say your idea is the better one. With that you need to find the source they are entering from & quite possibly the leak or what they are so interested in.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on May 04, 2013Cathy, you are correct about the termite issue as you do not really have any issues with them up there due to the deep freeze cycles in the ground. Also saying the look like may flies would rule them out as well. Termite swarmers look more like flying ants and often are mistaken for them. A sure way to tell if they are flying ants or termites is to pick them up with their wings. If the wings fall off they are termites. Ants wings will stay on the bodies. If you can take a photo of a few of them close up so we can see what they look like we can help you identify what they are and why they are there in the first place.Helpful Reply
