looks like hamster poo to me 😂
Search up cockroach eggs. Looks like that to me
Yeah that seems to be the consensus. Thank you for weighing in
The brown things are not termites, they’re pupae cases of another insect. Try vacuuming all that up and keeping an eye on it
Looks like a brown recluse
\s
this isnt termites
maybe, i have no idea. but ill tell you what you want to hear!
That’s a terrible picture will nothing to indicate scale but assuming those brown capsule looking things are about 1/4 inch long that looks like fly pupae. Is the location near trash can or compactor? Had you previously noticed maggots?
Sorry, thought it was clearer than it was
They are about 1/4 inch, brown, and hollow. Little crunchy.
does it taste salty or a little fruity?
A little bitter, with pronounced notes of drywall and batt insulation, and a subtle hint of mouse droppings
Those are cockroach pupae
Yep, and @[email protected] if they’re hollow, they’re living out their adult lives elsewhere (likely in the building). These are just signs that they used it as a pupation site.
Thank you. I’ve seen no evidence of them, and they were below some baseboards put in long ago. I’m hoping it’s an issue that no longer exists 😂
Cool entomological fact: Cockroaches and termites (and also praying mantises) are really closely related, and many cockroaches have the ability to digest lignin, aka wood, just like termites
Floorboards also tend to have gaps so all kinds of insects can hide underneath.
Thank you
I see roach eggs and other blurry stuff
Housefly larvae casing. They’re like 8mm long right?
I’d assume the same. I’ve had houseflies hatch in my indoor trash a few times and the casings look exactly like the pictures.
It doesn’t immediately look like termites, but you’ve cropped/zoomed in so tight that there may be missing information that would help.
There’s no obvious damage around (just some old mold and water damage (washer room))
Took this a little further out
I still don’t see anything there that suggests termites.
You got roaches bruh. You nasty mfer
Lol people downvoted you. I thought it was funny.
It doesn’t look like termites, but that’s definitely signs of some other bug 🤷♂️
Looks like rodent droppings.
