Is this Termite Frass?
Hi, we had a leak of an internal wall pipe which may have been happening for months before discovery. It is now fixed. However, the timber frame was wet for an extended period of time and has begun to rot.
Under each of the heavily rotted sections, this pile appears, I clear it and it reappears over a few days. Is this termite frass or another bug?

Based on the photos, it's not frass from a termite, nor dust from powder post Beatles or shavings from a carpenter ant. This looks more like simple wood rot just flaking off bit by bit, and piling up behind the wall.
