Katherine, You’ve imaged part of a spider and a ground beetle (the large one on the right in the 1st photo). The smaller critters in greater abundance should encourage you to call in your pest control vendor to explore the source of the termites, then to take evasive action.

Good morning, all, Would someone be able to help me identify these beetles? The second two photos are close-ups. To my eye, they look like some sort of Powderpost beetle, but I found no frass in the area near the trap, so I have doubts. Each beetle is 3-4 mm in length. Many thanks for your expertise and assistance!
