Rosa -

Drywood termites can invade a variety of spots in a structure.  They may have 
made their way into the substructure or other elements.  I think the Pest 
Management Professional is covering all his bases by recommeding a full 
fumigation with Vikane.  This will absolutey wipe up everthing.

I am working on a small historic house that is being renovated by its owner.  
In removing insect damaged maple parquet floor tiles they found live termite 
larvae. They were identified by a fumigator as drywood termites but I'm not 
sure it's true.  The damaged boards have all been removed but of course we 
don't know if the termites are there in other boards.  So the question is:  To 
tent or not to tent?  This is an empty building at present, in Florida.  Are 
there other reliable methods for getting rid of these pests?

Would anyone be willing to venture a guess as to which type of insect would 
make this type of casing?  The casing or "home" was discovered in a recess 
within a wooden sculpture believed to be composed of Cryptomeria wood.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Rosa,
First, I would make certain of the identification. If the insects are not 
drywood termites, a fumigation would probably be of little or no value. If they 
are drywood termites then fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride (Vikane & others) 
would be the least expensive, quickest and most efficacious method. I would 
also have the house inspected for subterranean termites. Good luck.

Hi Ingrid,
The white object may be an artifact or coincidental to the wood damage. It 
appears as though it may be part of the puparium of a moth or carpenter ant. 
The wood damage and the attendant pellets resemble those produced by wood 
infesting anobiid beetles (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). I suppose there is an 
outside chance that the pellets may be those of a drywood termite, but I don't 
think so.
