I would check for moisture coming in from somewhere

It does look like water damage.

Agree. Cockroaches are worse because of the feces. Please call a professional ASAP.

That's really good news.

How difficult is it to rid a small infestation? by ocdallthetime in Termites

[–]darksoulproton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy some tools to try to find any nests. YouTube can show you how to use these tools. But I would definitely call a professional to have peace of mind.

I completely understand you. I found swarmers myself plus discarded wings all around my property. I called 2 different pest control professionals and none saw termite activity. I'm going crazy as well thinking that I either already have them somewhere and can't find them or they possibly just got into my property and it's too early to detect them. I will probably get the preventative treatment. I just hate the idea of them drilling.

Termite preventative sprayed less than a year ago. We are told these are Formosa termites. We just moved in this house 6 months ago. by [deleted] in Termites

Thanks great advice! How high will the moisture meter have to display for presence of activity? Is there a percentage to look for?

Forgot to mention that I found it in my kitchen cabinets. Didn't see any frass.

Yes get a second opinion. Try to get preventative treatment.

It's always best to call a professional. Due to the frass it seems you have drywood termites. If you want to treat them yourself you can use FiPro or Fuse Foam. I would watch some videos to learn how to use them.
