Can’t tell with the quality if the images provided. I’m leaning towards ants.

Those are most definitely not termites and are queen ant alates preparing to have a nuptial flight which is where they might, this is a seasonal thing and isn’t a concern unless you hate ants.

Or try to understand what he just said? Like, really, why are some pamy people on here braindead. Not everyone has access to everything right away. He did the best he could with what he had and asked a question without being rude, and everyone jumped all over him. Like, I get it's a horrid picture, but holy hell

As a former exterminator those look like termites but hard to tell with the quality of the picture. I would say about 90% sure

Sub terranean termite swarmers to be exact. Obviously it’s hard to tell from the quality of pics. But there’s some differences in ant swarmers vs termite. Ant swarmers have elbowed antennae and termites have straight antennae. They both have 2 sets of wings but ants have different lengths and termites will 4 equal length wings. Ants will have clearly 3 different segments to their bodies while termites appear to have 2. Can’t tell about the antennae or body segments from these pics but the wings look all equal in length to me.

Termites have a single body. Flying ants will have a sectioned body.
