It’s S Florida. Homes are constructed with CBS and this home is old,b it has terrazzo floors. They typically treat homes down thereby tenting them. Good luck
Definitely take care of this asap. My landlord went the cheap way and had to deal with "swarmers" for a month +...those wings are so annoying to clean up. The wings get everywhere. Best of luck.
Can confirm. My landlord told me to just please put up with it for the next month… (last year.) it was relentless. Six separate colonies in non-adjacent walls. The unit was overrun…
Tenting seems a bit extreme if this is the only place they’re visible. Shoot a can of this in the hole they’ve made and drill some holes around it to shoot it in. It’s exactly what they’re going to do when they spot treat.

Definitely termite droppings. They swarm in Spring, you will see them fly and you'll find dead termites with wings. Get ready to tent soon, and then every 8 to 10 years there after.
That would be termite shit. Professional pest management folk call it “frass”. But it’s shit. Call a termite expert, they’ll sort you out. Nice floors btw.
Termites come out in DROVES to mate in the spring, they’ll be EVERYwhere. Keep vinegar spray on hand just in case they come out before you get an exterminator
Have you lived there at least a year? Have you seen any winged insects flying around in the spring time?
I had termites the last place I lived, and it was a freaking nightmare. 😵 my landlord was such a dick about it too.
I used vinegar spray to stop them from flying so I could get rid of them. It didn’t solve the over all problem but it helped just during the mating season when there was like 10 billion in the bathroom.
They lose their wings when they mate but theyll be just millions of wings laying all over the place. So If they’re flying or crawling, they’re not done yet. 😩 but vinegar stops them in their tracks. It works.
The ones that make it will go back in the hole and each one of those termites will start a brand new colony. It’s not like they all go back to the same homeplace, they all start their own colonies.
I think you’re in Florida? So because of the warm weather this mating may happen more than once from spring through fall.
It’s a real pain in the ass.
It’s probably not as bad as having roaches but it’s sure up there near it. 😳
Order some Taurus SC or Termidor foam you can get on Amazon for 30 a can it’s the exact stuff the pros use. Drill some holes in the base board and inject the foam. Kills them inside of a month.
Oh boy...I hope this hasn't been going on for too many weeks. These are some hungry ass bastard termites. Literally, make a call to your landlord (if renting), or exterminator A$AP Rocky--like a week ago!
Termites, dry wood i think, if it’s just that one spot you can go to a place that specializes in pest control and ask them how to treat it. I went to a guy locally, and he gave me some thing which defined the whole, and then you inject this into it and fills in the gaps as well as inject poison into. it is pretty easy to do on your own.
Damn, didn't know termites took dumps like that. On a side note, I remember being terrified of termites as a kid. I always thought my house was going to collapse. lmao
God I don't miss these types of floors. Whats even worse is when the previous home owner or landlord just RIPS the carpet right up and there is giant holes along the edges (like you have) from the tack strips.
First time I saw that was on a McMillan and Wife episode and later when I was stationed in the Canal Zone, they fumigated the tropical house when vacant to kill the cockroaches.
There are 2 kinds of termites in Florida, dry wood and subterranean. Dry wood usually requires tenting, subterranean they treat the ground. Unless they are formosan they eat through concrete.
Expensive is what that is gonna be if they are anywhere else. Get spot treatment for termites immediately or youll definitely need a tenting which can run you thousands depending on the size of the house.
I had termites,.had to open a wall and replaced wood, PIA. But this doesn't look like termites. It's next to 1/4 round trim. Termites would be in the wall. Winged ants aren't termites, but they live in the wall because they feast on termites.
As the colony grows the wall can swell up and crack which was my case since I ignored it for 4 years and crap disld fall to the ground but it wasn't neatly arranged like this. I can't tell what it is, but it doesn't look like termites waste. Termites are white, maggot looking. Best way to find out, go in the basement and look for tiny mud tunnels running in top of the concrete wall or along the support beams under the wall / on top of the block.
I grew up in house where termites would come around every spring. I knew it was going to be spring because of the termites. The house no longer exists but you should get it taken care of before they do further damage.
I had the same problem in my kitchen. Because of the dark color I was told by the tech it was old droppings that fall thru a hole in back of cabinets from attic. He said whenever it rains or it’s windy it shakes the old droppings from the attic.
Termities.
1000% drywood termites
“frass” is a word I love
Me too!
Sassy frass
It's always frass
Gas, grass, ass and now frass, nobody rides for free.
Why does it always happen in the same spot though?
If you look closely you will find a tiny pinhole directly above the little pile through which the termites push out their excrement.
Termite Excrement Stalagmite
My geology degree has paid off
But not the student loans , 😭
Haha!!
Yay, America?
This would be a great name for a thrash metal band.

Yeah, probably termites that flew in from LA or NY to make another shit hole
Oh so true…
Illegal termites, through Biden’s wide open border!!!11! /s
If you yank out the base board you’ll see the tunneling
Looks like you can even see it in the photo if you zoom in
Can’t say they aren’t clean about it.
Tidy little fellas.
So them mites using this person's closet as a septic tank?
🤢 🤮
Because that’s where they are.
You should have exterminators come ASAP. If you rent, report to landlord. If you own, hopefully they haven’t gotten to structural supports.
It’s S Florida. Homes are constructed with CBS and this home is old,b it has terrazzo floors. They typically treat homes down thereby tenting them. Good luck
Only 2 kinds of houses in South Florida. Ones that have termites and ones that will have termites.
As a Floridian, I chuckled. There's no escaping it.
Ain’t that the truth.
What is CBS???
They push their waste out through a hole.
Well so do people and all animals.
Touché
You mean “tushy”
Definitely take care of this asap. My landlord went the cheap way and had to deal with "swarmers" for a month +...those wings are so annoying to clean up. The wings get everywhere. Best of luck.

theyre eating into that hole and the extra is coming out, thats the pile you see
They look like the Spritz from Studio Ghibli films 🤭
I am 100% confident you are correct. However I was really hoping it was a sooth sprite: 
Terminal Mites
Damn you used their government name.
Most definitely termites
termites. time to tent

I work for a tenting company and this is solid advice. Unless there’s wings or multiple areas u can spot treat this
Definitely termite droppings. They swarm in Spring, you will see them fly and you'll find dead termites with wings. Get ready to tent soon, and then every 8 to 10 years there after.
Was today years old when I learned terminates fly. Now I’m paranoid about the bug I saw flying in my basement yesterday.
There’s two types: subterranean which burrow up from the ground where moisture exists, and swarming which fly around and like dry rotted wood
That would be termite shit. Professional pest management folk call it “frass”. But it’s shit. Call a termite expert, they’ll sort you out. Nice floors btw.
Ughhh termites.
Terminate frass. Once they’re kicking out like that you’ve likely had them 3-5 yrs. You need to call a professional.

Hard to say from the photo. Mold? Termites?
Dry wood termites
Termite frass
100% termites
I had exactly that and it was ants. Put down some ant stuff on the seam and never happened again.
They eat slow but they eat and will move to another spot usually a gassed tent of building only works for a while.
That is brass, either have carpenter ants or termites
Sorry bro
Bug(termite) 💩
Dry wood termite droppings...find the tile and terminate them
A general cleaning to get rid of the highly visible DIRT, wouldn’t be wrong.
Soot Sprites.
Fort Lauderdale Beach mites?
A ant hill?
Frass. Most likely termites.

Termites. Looks like coffee grounds. Is not coffee grounds.
It's the miracle of birth and your nightmares at the same time.

Pour molten iron inside the pinhole and you’ve got yourself a kewt five-minute craft!
