You can't. You'll think you did but a few years down the road you'll get one heck of a surprise. Call an exterminator.
None of those fancy things they advertise can tell you the extent of the infestation. And no I'n not an exterminator or have any vested interest in them. I speak from experience.
If your seeing termites swam your infestation has gone pretty far by now.
Vacuum them up outside and then put some bleach over the area outside so they won't come again.
Termites cause so much damage it is best to hire a professional, - just be sure it is someone you can trust. Otherwise they might charge a fortune and not do the job.
