Hello Catarina,

Sorry, you are right, these are drywood termite fecal pellets.

Best wishes,
Bill

Betreff: [EXT] [PestList] Termites?

EXTERNE E-MAIL - SEIEN SIE ACHTSAM BEIM ÖFFNEN VON LINKS UND ANHÄNGEN


Hello everyone,
We’ve been dealing with subterranean termites, but we’ve now come across 
something different (see attached images).
The droppings are very small—about 1 mm long—hard, and multi-faceted, so I’m 
starting to suspect drywood termites. Am I right? I’d really love to be wrong…

Thank you in advance, and have a lovely weekend!
