Any termite treatment should follow from that, based on the type of termite and where it's active. One swarm isn't a diagnosis, but it isn't something to ignore either. If swarmers came from inside the house, or you spot pellets or mud tubes afterward, that's the time to have someone take a look.
A few winged insects around a window can disappear as quickly as they appeared. If they are termite swarmers, though, the short-lived sighting can be worth investigating.Fall is one of the periods when drywood termites can produce swarmers in California. These winged termites leave established...
