Ants Flying Out of Heating and Cooling Ducts

Question: I have what appear to be flying ants coming out of my heat and cooling ducts. I sprayed with RAID bug barrier but it doesn't seem to do the trick. There are so many that I can't seem to kill them fast enough. Please help.

Answer: These are probably termites instead of flying ants. It would be best to have the house inspected by a professional to identify the species, location of the infestation and develop a customized treatment plan.
