I rent an apt with FH. I am noticing by the window sill in the bedroom what I think may be termites? Who is responsible for getting rid of them? Me or the landlord? and if they are not termites, but flying ants, what do i do?? I hate bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't usually see termites, you just see their effects - like wood shavings. They look like little worms.
Call your landlord. He should pay for the exterminator, whatever these bugs are.

Re: Need help-Termite problem
What do the bugs look like.
I get these small bugs that are oval in shape, and have two antennas on there heads and two antennas on the bottom of their bodies....They are really small, thin and fast. I find them on the walls, and in the carpet sometimes...Its pretty yukky. They come out mostly in the summer and after it rains.
Someone know what they are?

Re: Need help-Termite problem
Yup i got it...I want to see about getting the sticky traps. I cant afford any of the other stuff right now....
It stinks because I know where they are coming from...and I cant do anything about it....We have a leak in the bathroom upstairs...or we used to have a leak and a part of the dining room cieling downstairs has water damage...I have a feeling this is what started it.
I wonder who I would call to come and try to exterminate the silverfish....Has anyone ever had aproblem with them before?

Not true we had termites in our bathroom they were everywhere. Granted they had eaten the entire wall in the bathroom but we did see sworms of them out side of the walls.
