Do termites like light

Many insects use the position of the Sun as a navigation tool.

If a source of light is bright enough and contains ultraviolet light, the insect will be confused by it and believing it is the Sun, will start to fly in progressivly smaller circles around the light source as it tries to navigate.

This effect is used by electric fly killers which use a UV light to attract flys to the lamp which is behind an electrically charged mesh of wires. The fly navigates into the lamp but is electrocuted by the mesh.
