No but, as you probably know, it's not uncommon after a downpour if you live in close proximity to a nest. As soon as you see the first one, close up the doors and turn off the lights! Keep an eye out for termite trails and spray them as necessary, etc. etc.

being new to the island, are the termites the thin long brown guys with wings? I thought this might be a type of moth, thanks!
