John Dirks Jr Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 What kind of critters make this pattern. It doesn't look like the termite tubes I have seen. Image Insert: 97.33 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 They look like partially wiped away mud tubes to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hi, Yeah, it does look like mud tubes. It's pretty large-grained stuff, though. If you were out here I'd say it was Pacific Dampwood Termite frass. Course, I can't really see it close up. Once you see PDWT frass, you never mistake it for anything else; when you look at it under a loop it looks like a bunch of little six-sided Indian tom-tom drums. Hee, Hee. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Brian G Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have to agree, it sure looks like it. Sound the alarm. Brian G. Invasion of the Little White Critters That Can't Stand Sunlight [:-alien] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Both my client and their agent were present and I pointed this out to them. I said get the WDO report guy out here. They agreed and I also put it in the inspection report. Amazing what you can find when you pull a little insulation out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
