I'm not convinced it's a termite as the worker termites, which are white/cream colored workers, do not expose themselves unless someone exposed them by breaking open wood or digging up soil. The other factor is the long back pair of legs. Maybe it's an illusion or due to the photo, but if in reality that pair of legs is that much longer than the others, then it's not a termite.
I'm doing some repair work to my house and my back patio specifically. I removed some old wood siding that was rotten and I was letting that parts are out. I had started putting new plywood up where the siding have been removed but I only did one sheet. A couple of days after that I noticed that honey bees were forming a nest so then I had to call a beekeeper to come and we removed that sheet of plywood and found that a nest was there. We removed all of the honeycomb or at least we thought we did but two days later I'm still seeing hundreds of these right back where the nest was. What can I do? He's already been out here twice and each time he's taking a lot of bees with him but we were not able to cut out any more of the wall to see if anything was up above. When we look we see nothing but I believe something is still there. Without killing everything what can I do? I don't want to get stung whenever I bring my saw out.

Currently exterminating German cockroaches.
I'm worried I may have accidentally contaminated Vendetta Nitro bait beads on my upper kitchen cabinets with Delta Dust pesticide (plume of dust arose after I dusted the inside of a lower cabinet).
What's the best way to wash off the bait and start again? Water and a rag enough? Or should I use a bathroom/kitchen cleaner to wipe off the bait? I'm concerned about using chemicals in an area that I want to bait.Read More
