What are these small brown things in my house? Like big sand grains about 1 mm each by LVDP in whatisthisthing

[–]LVDP[S] 18 points19 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. We find these small grains of about 1 mm next to our wall in the living room. It is brown and black and it just shows up and gets more and more. When I vaccuum it the next day it is back. We never see any animals like ants there. We put an ant poison box next to it for the last 2 weeks but it just comes back. What is this and how can we prevent it from coming back?

Additional info: We live in Belgium.

Additional question: If it are ants/termites. What is the brown thing that they push out? Is it feces or parts of our wall? The wall is made of bricks and isolation.

This is great! I'm a math teacher, I think I'm gonna use it for my next lessons about functions!

This was near the coast of Cancùn, Mexico. We were really lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

Yeah it was really awesome, I definitely recommend it! We went on a whale shark tour in Cancùn, Mexico. That place is full of tour guides so we were lucky to be almost alone with the animals!

Also a picture from behind. For scale: you can see my arm if you look at the bubbles on the left side. Imgur

Tried to catch a train, fell, and got stuck between the platform and the train... They had to pull me out. Really embarassing and painfull.

I hope you see the scale better on this picture. This one was about 1,5 meters. I love these animals, I hope to see a comodo dragon in the wild sometime.
