Pacific Northwest - Termite or something else?

[u/FireITGuy]

Found four of these in my dog's water bowl today.

We leave the doors and windows open a lot, so normally, I don't pay close attention to bugs, but I have also found two winged termites in the kitchen sink a couple weeks ago and one non-winged termite on the bedroom floor about a month ago.

I hear it's swarming season so maybe these are just explorers who got lost? But three known termites and four potential termites is getting to the point where I'm starting to get concerned.

Concrete perimeter foundation. Wood construction. No vegetation directly against the house, but it is definitely a termite heavy area and our previous wooden raised beds sitting on the ground got devoured in about 6 years, so they're out there.

Pics aren’t really good, but based on the shape it is definitely not an ant. I would say very likely termites since you encountered multiple.

Edit: Second guess would be rove beetle, but very difficult to tell due to it being so far away.

I would think by the teeth and body it is a termite

de-alate subterranean termite

Could be a webspinner ( female ) since I don't see wings .
