they come on fairly still nights, and between 7-8 is usually the termite fly time....and they love light...so keeping as many lights off & windows & doors screened help reduce the numbers of flying swarm...
Drywood termites are the ones you are seeing... many older neighborhoods & homes in forest areas with older r dead wood will see the swarms... your goal is to make sure those wingless wonders do not find any of your edible wood (this includes your books & any thing else of wood/wood fiber)
and trying to keep them outside is the best... the bucket & light may be the ticket...
