I have not heard of a single case of a home infected by “ Flying Termites” This is used in a sales pitch for people who have Block and Stucco homes. In fact, if you Google “flying Termites” you will not get any information.
Do you know anything about FLYING TERMITES that you can share?

ENY-211/IG098: Drywood and Dampwood Termites
All three types of termites exist in Florida, drywood (flying) dampwood, and subterranean. Is the risk large or small here in TV? That's your call. Have there been infestations here? Don't know but I have seen some tented homes that were being treated for something. Do some buyers want a termite bond in place before buying? I am sure some do. Anyway we are wasting our breath here as it seems you have made up your mind that it is all a scam.
