Ants that seem to be uninterested in sugar and honey. Termites?

Okay I might have a picture of one of them. They left and came back. They are just really into hanging out above my stove. They don't seem interested in any of the food. It's like they are lost. What do you guys think? Should I just go to Lowe's and get some baits or call pest control?

@scottyorange Doesn't really look like a termite. How long have they been there? I'd probably wait some, but I have cats and don't like having poisons around.

@BillieBun @scottyorange Try lemon tree oil. It's 100% natural and non-toxic. It has a powerful smell that might deter certain pests. It does well against ticks and mosquitoes, and it's safe to use on cats. You might find some at Walmart.

@POOetryma @scottyorange I've never heard of lemon oil other than for furniture. I'll have to look for some.

@BillieBun @POOetryma also vinegar mixed with water and with orange peels in it. Vinegar can erase the pheromone trails they leave, and the citrus is somewhat of a repellent. But I think it's just for pleasant smelling. Feels like it does something.
