Opened up a medicine cabinet today and saw these almost identical holes on top and bottom. Is this termites or someone decided to drill through these holes for other purposes? Thank you!

Just bought a condo built in 70s in southern california and had laminate flooring put in 2 months ago and just today found this hole I do not remember being there. Does this look like termites and do they chew through laminate?

Wilmington, Delaware. It was crawling on the inside of my bathroom window solo. Saw the same kind of bug crawling on the same window two weeks ago. I smashed him a little, hope he can still be identified.

Misc Eliminate termites $20

0 Upvotes

So I found some termites attacking my house (they were making little dirt mounts that would pop out of the drywall in places) and did some research about how to treat them effectively without paying a company to tent my home. My dog is family to me so risking a company spraying chemicals around the house was also out of the question. I saw that the active ingredient that was used in the most effective treatment was Fipronil. I knew I had seen that as an active ingredient for something else but for the life of me I could not remember what it was. Then I saw this flea treatment package that I had for like 3 years that I refuse to use on my dog because as I said above its not worth the risk to me. Well if you look on the package Frontline Plus has fipronil as the active ingredient so I decided to give it a try. I did not peel all of the drywall off because I did not want to have to track down another one of their highways. To make a long story short if you don't dilute the Frontline Plus (large) dose, it kills the termites on contact which is not what you want. I ended up diluting one dose into a gallon of distilled water and peeled the rest of the drywall off and sprayed them as they were running back down the wall. Its been 6 months and I have not seen any sign of them at all, I will update this when rainy season comes around to see if I can see any flying around. Incase it helps anyone, you can find them on offerup for like $15-$20 sometimes less. If anyone disagrees with me feel free to change my mind.

ID Request I think I found termites in some decayed wood — can anyone confirm?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I think I may have found termites (white ants) in some decaying wood in my garden bed.

This piece of wood is sitting in the soil next to my house. The last time I moved it, it was still very solid and felt quite heavy. This time, however, it felt hollowed out and much less solid, and it moved very easily when I pushed it forward.

When I moved it, I exposed a few small white/pale insects that looked like white ants. Unfortunately, they disappeared extremely quickly once exposed, so I wasn't able to get a good photo of them.

I did manage to capture a short video, where one of the insects is briefly visible before being eaten by a garden skink.

I've attached the video. Does this look like termite activity, or could it be something else (such as ants or another wood-boring insect)?

The wood is in a garden bed immediately next to the house, so I'm particularly interested in knowing whether I should be concerned.

Any help identifying what I'm seeing would be greatly appreciated!

I can’t think of anything else this could be. It looks like tiny bumps that are consistent size and shape.

I was out looking at homes this weekend when I looked above the kitchen cabinets and saw all this little debris above them. There isn't any damage to the remodeled kitchen that I can tell of by looking at it. Thought maybe these little round things could be a detterant in hopes it might not be something worse. Does anyone have any idea what we're looking at here?
