termites won't hit insulation, no food value.
carpenter ants will if damp. seeing more and more in attic insualation... but it must have high moisture.
catch the insect. ants will have a constriction between the head and thorax/abdomen, termites will not. the body will continue straight from head all the way back. ants also have two different sized wings on either side if you can catch them swarming. termites will have same sized wings.
as for mice... good luck. no seriously victor snap traps with and expanded trigger. place perpendicular to the wall, WITH NO BAIT. this will act as a run trap.
rule of thumb: mice can get through an opening the size of your pinky, rats can get through an opening the size of your thumb. find the hole, stuff it with steel wool. they don't like to chew thru this.
oh the wonderful things you learn working in pest control. used to work with dad fisherman, not anymore though.
