That's May flies and they are activating, they find the smallest crack in a window or door and get in but if you will spray poison around doors and windows it helps

It's not Mayflies. Mine are definitely termites. The worst I've seen it. Can those eventually start a colony?

I read not to be to concerned with the swarming unless you have an ideal condition for them...water source and rotten wood...huntinfool knows more about these boogers than most
