Evidence of Drywood
Termites is called pellets which is their fecal
matter. As they are eating the wood the galleries
get filled up with their fecal matter and it gets
a little crowded. They chew a hole to the outside
of the wood and push the pellets out. This is
called a kickhole. Below the kickhole you will
find a pile of pellets.
Drywood termites
are a little more than 1/4' in length. They are
cream colored. They get their name from the fact
that they can live in "dry" wood. They
do not need an external moisture source like other
termite families. No contact with the soil is
necessary. Because of this fact, they are the
most elusive of all termites.
