ghentjr Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I like the last photo where it shows the older tracks that were brushed off and painted over. They been there a looooong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbinspect Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I did an inspection last Summer, where the entire crawlspace looked like a cavern - tubes hanging everywhere. The seller seemed to have money to burn, owning vintage cars, ATVs, Bass boats, etc, but apparently hadn't stuck his head in the crawlspace in years. Needless to say, the buyer ran, and the guy took the house off the market. There had to be $20,000.00 of damage in there - really sad. When you see them hanging from window heads, you know you're in trouble. [:-shake][:-scared] (PS. Richmond, is kinda like the Bahamas for termites, they love it here - lots of boggy damp clay and soil, forgiving Winters and brutally hot Summers and plenty of wood - heaven... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Funny, there are virtually none here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't think they were brushed off and painted over, John. More like they ate their way through the drywall paper behind the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hockstein Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Here are a couple of photos from a crawlspace I was in a couple of years ago. Nobody had been in the crawlspace for many years.

Snell Experts Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 At first i was going to say that they were mud dobbers. We have them down in the south on the east coast, and they make mud tubes similar to these. They are a type of bee I'm guessing, but I have never seen them not attached to a wall and just free hanging like that. I'm not sure what they are.

hausdok Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Mr. Snell Experts, We don't appreciate someone coming on here and pretending to contribute to the dialog for the purpose of dropping their link. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
