The water intrusion may be unrelated but it led to the discovery of a small mound of dirt (?) crawling with small grey insects. I've attached a couple photos but I don't know that these are clear enough for identification, I will try to collect a couple of the insects and get them under the microscope later today. Any ideas what this might be? Could they be wood boring insects? Any recommendations on how to proceed? Many thanks in advance for you thoughts and guidance!
