Looks like termites to me. I'd just call a pro and have them take care of it. You never really know where they are at/nesting.

definitely termites, but this time of year the will swarm. Just make sure they don't make your house the local watering hole. You on a slab, crawlspace, or basement?

Treat them asap, had them in my house, treated quickly and they only produced limited damage thankfully.

once they set up camp after a swarm, I think then you'd see a rise in numbers by the pale newborn ones.

Yep. Contact a reputable exterminator and your insurance company immediately. Get your home treated with Termidor, its your friend.

Workers are, those are swarmers. The workers are the ones that are rice colored and do the damage.

If those came out of your house, you have a big problem, if they came from elsewhere and you found them around your house, don't sweat it, the vast majority will die.

I just had some that looked exactly like that. I just got my house treated. It is a rental so I don't have to pay but it was fairly painless. They came while I was at work and did some poison around the house. Supposedly that will take care of it.
