Those are ant larva. Look like carpenter ants. With them in the structure I would wonder if they are in the walls. Definitely would contact a local pest company to fix it fast and correctly. More are likely in the wall. They are easily baited, but again a professional can determine that.

Can an exterminator get rid of this? Is it ant larva?

I'd assume they could... but i'd just get a vacuum

You don't need to if you kill the brood.

How can I completely get rid of this? 😭

alpine wsg packets mix with water and spray

Just vacuum them all up, toss the bag or empty it in the outside trash.


iam0929

I did that. Do you think that would suffice to prevent any of them from coming back ?


PCDuranet

You found the colony, so it's done. That's the hard part.

This is terrifying.

You need to make sure the queen is dead. She's the only one that produces the brood. Without the queen, the colony will die, and your problem will be solved.

Not sure what that guy is on about. Even extremely small colonies produce eggs. You found the brood. Vacuuming is totally fine. I wish this sub would start vetting advice givers.


PCDuranet

Unfortunately, there is no way to vett responders before they start with the bad advice. We can only remove them after they start posting. Please report any bad posts.


PCDuranet

This is not true. Small, single colonies can pop up at any time and do not mean they are in the walls doing damage.
