I've been scouring the internet for photos of hardwood floors with termite damage, but I still can't tell if this is or not. Its just the one board that is spongey, and we havent found any wings or anything. Can anyone take a look and help me out?
Thanks in advanceRead More
Hi everyone.
I noticed some odd tan or light brown "sand" bunching around the base of our ground-floor toilet this morning. Did some exploratory poking of it and 1) found it harder/crunchier than I was expecting and 2) noticed some little larvae wiggling around in it when the sand was disturbed.
Comparing the larvae-things to images online, I [i]think[/i] they might be termites but would like to get a second opinion. Would it be unheard of to have them coming out from under the toilet, assuming the sub-floor under the bathroom tile is wooden?
I'd like to know what I'm dealing with before I potentially get an exterminator out next week. Any other tactics I should try in the meantime?
Thanks ahead of time, much appreciated. (Apologies for yet another "is this a termite?" post as well... I tried sifting through a few pages of threads and didn't see any pics that were similar to mine, so figured it's better to ask.)
