help! I have termites!?
I just noticed today that one of the walls in my apartment has termites. They chewed holes under my windowsill and infested my bedroom. I managed to get most of them vacuumed up and borrowed a can of ant killing spray from my parents (because I originally thought they were flying ants, but the spray does work however, there's not much left and I'm too broke to buy any more).
Of course I'm going to inform my landlord about the problem when she comes in tomorrow morning. I filled the termite holes with caulk in hopes that it will prevent any more termites from coming in. What else can I do to keep the termites from coming into my apartment until my landlord can get pest control over?

They'll only fly a few times each year, usually in Fall of Spring, so you may have already seen the last of it. Be sure to save some for your landlord to see. The spray does nothing to stop them but it can slow them down a bit.
Just stick with the vacuum cleaner and caulk.
You may need to move out for a fumigation. It may also be that the apartment is badly damaged and structurally unsound, so be sure to ask a lot of questions. Moving is always an option, but seldom really necessary.
