    But isn’t the problem nuisance from flying termites? If so, the questions are: 1) Have they appeared because there is an undetected nest internal to the building? or 2) Are they getting in through lack of insect screens on windows or other openings to the outside?

    If it is 2, then it will stop soon but there is the more general problem that the unit seems to lack insect screens to keep out flies, mosquitos etc. 

    If it is 1), then the flying termites will still stop soon (termite flights tend to be brief and annual) but some structural timbers might be about to collapse too!

    If it is 2), then the flying termites might be from a nearby nest of a species which is a threat to structural timber or it might not be. 

    There are many things that a concerned building owner can do to reduce the risk of termite damage but that is a topic I can write on another day.
