Hello,
So before I call the exterminators and spend a fortune, I wanted to find out if anyone has experience with this:
I keep finding a teeny tiny pile of dark "dust" on the top edge of the electrical outlet plate that is below the vanity cabinet in the bathroom. When I look at the bottom of the vanity cabinet directly above the tiny pile of "dust," I see where some critter/bug or creature is doing something because there is a small messy area. Digging a hole? I am not sure what is there. My DH says that we might remove the cabinet and see what is going on, or else call pest control. We could also just spray some sort of poison in the area and see what happens.
When I clean up the pile of dust, it just reappears the next day, so this bug is active, probably at night? Or it is just so small, it takes all day for another small pile to appear.
I don't know what termites do, if this is what they do, or whether we have to spend a fortune on this instead of my buying tickets for four to Orlando for Thanksgiving (yes, somehow timeshare vacations are always foremost on my mind... ).
So if anyone has an idea or suggestion, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
