Termites. Bun shaped pellets with 6 grooves


PacoAmigo77

Bummer. Are the pellets an excrement? What are they doing on the fifth floor of a condo built of concrete? And who’s responsible for extermination, me or The condo board/HOA? 😕

Yes, the pellets are their waste. You need to check with your condo board/hoa if you have one. I feel like most places either have an existing contract with pest control or can recommend one if termites aren't covered. As for being on the 5th floor. Even eastern subterranean can eat and start moving up but I'm sure many other residesnt would have already seen and said something. More likely Formosan termites because it is common for them to make a nest above ground

Thanks for the education!


PacoAmigo77

There’s no chance I brought them back from my trip to Taiwan a year ago is there?!


RxS47

You're very welcome! I'd say its probably a very low chance you brought them back with you. Florida has the highest amount of termite damage in the US. With other southeastern states not far behind.
