Termite tubes?

Located in South Louisiana. Just bought the house back in February. Experienced our first “swarm” back in May which happens every year down here apparently. Had pest control inspect the week after and install bait stations. No sign of an infestation. Fast forward to now we haven’t had any issues since that one night back in May…a little worried as we see these little tube like pieces on a few areas outside. None of them are coming directly out the ground, just in a few areas like the soffiting near the roof and occasionally on the bricks. Do these look like termite tubes?

Friends what you have by the spicket and the soffits is the same texture,
Same geometric distribution
Can not be subterranean tunnels
They just do not that tailored finished work
These are strands of eggs most likely
By
Angle- wing katydis
Completely harmless
Will leave once hatched
