DH and I were just sitting on the couch with the TV off and heard a weird tapping / rattling noise. We investigated expecting it was maybe a mouse or squirrel outside, but after listening / googling I'm 100% sure it is actually termite(s) in our kitchen windowsill! I'm totally freaking out / googling is grossing me out.

Have you had termites? What the heck do you do to get rid of them / how much did it cost? I already emailed a pest guy but it's 10pm here so nothing's happening tonight, and my skin is crawling!
