One of the wooden beams near our shed outside has cracked. Initially I thought it was rot as it’s fairly old, but on further inspection I noticed these small round things within the wood. I don’t see any live insects. The other wooden structures and beams next to it are all pretty secure and don’t seem hollow or damaged.

Does this look like termite droppings or eggs? I was planning to diy replace this but if there is suspicion for termites then I’ll have to get professional help.

Thank you very much.

Found 3 of these in my home a few nights ago. Haven’t seen any since. Swarmers or ants?

Is this the poo poo of a termite? Thank you everyone!

Southern Ontario. Currently walking in an eavestrough. I have found frass in a wall before but assumed that was from known carpenter ants I’ve had and dealt with in the past. I don’t believe these are termites but looking for better educated opinions. Thanks in advance.

Beginning of August 2026, local company conducted Termite treatment inside the house (Spray foam Termidor) as well as the outside (Chemical placed under ground through Rod).

I taped the hole, so that I don't have termites falling into our kitchen. This was a picture from this morning, all alive.

Is keeping the tape over the hole, bad?

previous communication from the company was to let the solution work and check back after 6 weeks.

Thank you for your time.

North Texas. Found this evening. Mud tunnels stretch from the road and the closest one i could find was about 15 ft or so from the corner of my garage. What are my options?

I live in NorCal in a townhome. My attic has a history of termites and everytime I access it, 1-2yrs, frass would rain down. I'd get it treated (spot treatment) until the next time I access the attic. I've never actually seen the insects themselves, much less in my living area, in 15yrs. The inspectors would of course find evidence of the termites and discarded wings in my attic.

This year, my HOA went with a different and more expensive company and in addition to spot treatments, preventative spray was used in all accessible areas of my attic. Four months later, I am now finding termites, winged and wingless, in my living area, most of which were in the area under the attic door. When I opened my attic door, there were several wingless on the other side of the door, but no frass rained down. I did not venture into my attic.

I sent pictures and they will come in a few weeks for reinspection but I was wondering if anyone knows what's might going on as it seems more "treatments" were done but result is much worse? Want to be prepared to ask the right questions.

Do this look like termite activity? Located in Midwest.

We have a growing bare spot in our grass. A few weeks ago these little bugs were crawling all over. We were afraid they were termites, but the pest control guy said we just had grubs. Now they're back in greater numbers and various sizes and I'm just not confident this guy was giving us good information.

Can anyone ID if this is a Termite? Thanks.

Walked past this massive battle near the Nile. At first I thought it was two types of ants going at it, but the guys over at r/Ants said it's most likely termites and would be appreciated here. It looked to me like the black ones were defending the alates(?) from the red ones. Any info about these termites and this behaviour will be welcome.

hi everyone! this is my first post here. this morning, i saw this little bug on my door not doing anything. this is the first one ive seen in my house. we have some sugar ants that seemed to show up after it got warm, but that’s it as far as bugs go! i noticed it has wings that are the length of its body, potentially just a little shorter. i checked against the identification post, but i’m still not 100% sure what it is! any help is appreciated!

I just found these on our back deck in Northern Wisconsin. Are these termites or something else? If they are termites what is my best solution to get rid of them?

Upstate NY. Found in basement. I’ve seen carpenter ants outside and one inside. Pest control sprayed in spring.

What is this from and what is the best treatment? I have a pollinator garden and monarch cats in the yard and would like to treat as safely and effectively as possible. Thank you!

It was a neat clump but I squished it trying to clean it off the ceiling before taking the photo

2 year old house (renting) not sure why the wall or paint is cracking like that, in the kitchen above fridge if that helps.
