Swarming termites are attracted to light. If you spot swarmers
in the neighborhood (street lights, neighbor's porch, etc.) turn
off the lights in your house. While this isn't always practical,
often it is the only way we can make these flying insects look
elsewhere.
If you use a bug-zapping light, it isn't always the best idea to
leave it on near your house during a heavy swarm. Many swarmers
may drop to the ground before they get a chance to touch the electrified
screen, leaving them to scurry about on the ground near the house.
