No not the kids these little pest.
It is that time of year when termites get active and start to swarm. To prevent them from doing any structural damage to your home, you should make regular inspections looking for their mud tunnels into your home. The tube will look like the picture below, on the base of your foundation. These are subterranean termites and must go back into the ground each day to get water. A few times a year you should walk around your foundation and make sure none of these critters have invaded your home. This is the reason you want to keep your slab exposed between 4-8 inches as well as keep any vegetation cut back from the house. Overgrown landscaping will attract termites and other pest and also prevent you from being able to visualise these tunnels. After your inspection if you happen to find one, as is common in North Texas, simply call your pest control and they can make a spot treatment before any damage is done.
