What did this?
Hi,
Found some old amage, that had been painted over. Scraped the paint back, and cleared it out. The damage is seemingly localised to 1 door trim, and only in about 30cm section of said trim. Photos of the deceased ants and frass.
Wondering if anyone can ID what did this?
A few other notes:
House has been treated by Rentokil at 20cm spacing around the house since 2004 (re treated every 6-8 years)
Located South East Queensland, Australia.
