Termites Anyone?

We are experiencing an invasion of flying termites. We are told they will stay with us throughout the rainy season. The bugs are about an inch long with their wings and about a half inch long without. The ground and floors in the house are littered with the wings. This video was taken outside our kitchen door. The bright light attracts them. Sophie did the dishes that evening without the kitchen ceiling light on to discourage them from joining her inside. At the end of the clip, you will see our dog Zambie enjoying a little extra protein. The termites are edible for humans also. Haven't tried them yet.
