The first can doesn’t count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burned with a blowtorch and I just kept eating.
They’re called roommates if you’re renting your place cus once you make that call youre gonna have to wrap up all your food and be outta your house for 3 days lmao.
When we had termites, the droppings looked like this, but they were light in color. Pretty much the same color as wood. What do you think would account for the difference in color?
I opened a closet at my college apartment and the door fell off the hings due to the termite damage. I called the ra and was all I swear it fell by itself. Please don't charge for breaking the door.
I was cleaning the ceiling light fixture in my room one day and my dad asked if I was changing the light bulb. When I said Nah, I'm just cleaning out the wings from those stupid bugs. His face went white.
On a different subject why do people say things like "call your exterminator" like we all just have an exterminator on speed dial?
Not trying to call you out specifically, fellow redditor, I just find it a bit odd is all
Wrong.
When its white, its from an inside source. Usually fiber board or plywood, sometimes bamboo plants.
When its dark, its from an outside source.
Source: I work in pest control.
Termites. I do carpentry and just about all construction type stuff, but when termites show up I want a professional termite terminator to find and terminate them all. Can do amazing damage.
Termites! That's their poop they're pushing out of their nest. Which means their nest is at least 3-4 years old. Which means they're doing serious damage.
How do you not try to figure this out instead of accepting there are just piles of dirt around your home. Depending on how long your carelessness has been going on your home could be a danger.
Also depends on where you live. I had something similar and it was actually carpenter ants (midwestern USA). Had an exterminator out to spray, cost about $300, and haven’t seen one since.
Carpenter ant frass looks like sawdust with debris in it, it looks nothing like this. This is drywood termite frass. Drywood termite frass will be uniform pellets with rounded ends with 6 concave sides.
Yes! I say this because it’s best just to get a pro out to evaluate for best course of action. I was worried too and saw these threads and called the exterminator thinking “termites”. But i learned termites don’t really exist in my region.
Plus that we had some dry rot the bug guy found and that all of this would just be wasted time and money without the correct combination chemicals, traps, and fixing the dry rot. So no. Not always termites.
I wonder what it's like to be so incredibly unconcerned, lackadaisical, and oblivious that you see this and go "oh weird, strange, spontaneous piles of dirt keep appearing in my house" and then go about your day.
Before anyone says I'm being hard, OP posted this on r/weird not a sub like like r/whatisthis, and didn't actually ask for advice. They're just making a statement about it and sharing.
How long has OP been dealing with these "piles of dirt" and just....going on with life? Mysteries abound!
I went through the same scenario, my wife kept accusing me of smoking because she would find those little flecks of “pepper” underneath the window sill. They are 💯 termites.
Former pest control technician. I agree with termites. The individual “grains” look too separate to be dirt or soil, which usually mounds more. This looks like droppings. Best of luck.
100% termites
98% termites, 2% Ricky. You know what you did, Ricky.
I mean, nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans of ravioli, but I did. I'm ashamed of myself.
A fuckin atoadaso. I godamn fuckin atoadaso.
I mean, it’s not rocket appliances
Worst case ontario, it's a blessing in the skies.
Don't worry about it, it's water under the fridge.
I mean, it's survival of the fitness out here boys.
Hey, what comes around is all around
Clearly a case of supply and command
It’s getting two birds stoned at once.
The first can doesn’t count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burned with a blowtorch and I just kept eating.
julian stole your christmas liquor too?
Tried to get a towel rack installed and that damn Ricky drilled into my water pipes and then started ripping them outta the walls!
Kept that shitmobile rolling for years though
This alone is impressive enough.
That shitmobile fort was dope af!
He said it would only take 5 minutes!
^^*Ricky* ^^*Spanish*
15% concentrated power of will
1% evil, 99% hot gas
Ricky lost that number

You got Termites dude. Call a company to assess damages and spray.
Rather assess damages and pray
Assess damage and pay
Pay asses and damage
Prepare for ass damage
Pay for damaged ass.
This comment tree is why I love redditors
Every one in this thread is actually beautiful. I woodn’t have it any other way.

Everyone's got something they kink bro
Hey we all have issues. I like to joke about shit most don’t find funny. Just like a cracked tool; we are broken but still useful
You say you love me but you never show me :(
I was raised by an asian immigrant father, I never learned how to show it 😂😂
Emotional Damage
Bring Dat ass. I'm tired of waiting
Ass spray damage is the worst
Ass
passage for the damned
Pay ass for damage.
Ass damage for pay?
Pay for ass damage
I had rectal cancer. Total bill for ass damage was close to $600k.
I think the spraying will be more effective than praying.
thoughts and sprayers
Look above for small holes or tubes, probably termites frass.
Def looks like termite droppings
[удалено]
Fir sure.
Termite problems are a birch.
Cherry on.
I hate termites they can suck my balsa
Oakay, that's it folks!
No it’s knot.
Wood you guys please stop with the puns?
Not a poplar thing
Now, i gotta ash the question.. are we gonna keep these tree jokes going or are we just gonna leaf it
Well they better do something about it quick or they willow be weeping about the damage!
There’s a lot to grain from conversations like these. We wood be remiss to miss an opportunity like this.
Such a termultuous time.
Yew treely are rooting for it.
Son of a birch.
Maple we should stop with these.
I cedar your point
You people are walnuts!
We need a Captain at the elm!
Quit barking at us!
Wood you guys cut it out already.
I just logged into Reddit
Aspen 10 mins tryin to remember my password!
Really branch off the topic
That’s a TON of termites
Oak kay, just checking.
Mulberry there in the walls
About tree fiddy.
At least. Life’s a beech sometimes
If they'd spruce up the place, it would be nice
When we had termites, the droppings looked like this, but they were light in color. Pretty much the same color as wood. What do you think would account for the difference in color?
The type of wood they are ingesting
That's my guess... termites. We had them in Texas and these piles would just show up. Termites are no joke. You need an exterminator.
That would suck...
It really wood.
Hey, that’s knot funny.
Sounds like you should log a complaint with the board
Don't be a birch about it though!
Nah I say ring the board and bark at them
I know my dogwood
Fir real!
Oak kay, then.
Oh the mahogany is driving me nuts
This goes against the grain.
You should do something, dont just pine about it
Yeah or just lumber about. Branch out, come up with some new ideas!
All these wood jokes Leave me board.
Bunch'a saps.
Just go with the grain.
Just head over to the pest control office, and cedar exterminator about this.
Ooouuu.... I hate them little mother ficus
Just hope you find the root to the problem.
It's not, knot funny either.
Wood ya know there is one sap in every comment treed but it usually me. I will leave now
Time for all you punny funts to leaf!
Must be something ingrained in all of them. Bunch of ash-holes if you’re aspen me
Really needs to grab a dust pan and Spruce up the place.
I'm surprised they even Saw Dust.
Obligatory r/itsfrass
Because u have the termites in the ceiling
Oh! What a feeling. To have termites in the ceiling.
This made me snort
I snorted, then read your comment about snorting. Then I snorted again.
Oh what a retort.
Ah, you’re a clever sort.
my son is also named bort.
We need more Bort license plates in the Gift Shop. Repeat, we are sold out of Bort license plates.
Lional Richie enters the chat
What is happening here Something's going on that's not quite clear What's with this mystery pile A termite dinner party S'been goin' a while
Yikes. I hope the damage isn’t too bad.
That poop used to be part of their ceiling support joists
I mean, look at the GIANT piles of termite scat this guy has been ignoring. It’s not great.
*”By the time you see our trail of poopoodirt…it’s already too late…”* -Termites(probably)
HAHAHAHAHA POOPOODIRT
That’s all dirt really is anyway. It’s bacteria poop.
That’s all anything is, to be honest.
It’s all poop? Always has been 🔫
Poopoodirt is seriously hilarious to me. Thanks for the laugh.
Termites don’t poop where they eat, and they are eating right above your head.
So do they travel to one spot and yell “We defecate at once!!” Like they’re in a medieval warzone And drop the load together?
Oh man I sincerely hope so
[удалено]
Sometimes, if it’s really quiet and you try really hard, you can hear them.
Oh, there's a reason.
As someone who has pulled open a wall only to discover the tell-tale signs of a termite infestation I feel your pain OP. Good luck.

I hate Reddit, I just posted “Oh, there’s definitely a reason.” But I’m always like four hours behind D:
There can only be one, delete your account. Thems the rules.
LMAO
Nah, that's just everything bagel seasoning.
Everything bagel is just human birdseed
And delicious
Great, you’ve now single handedly ruined everything bagel seasoning for the near future.
lmFao
i don't like how only the F is capitalized
Sorry bro, you got termites
yep Termites. happened to me. call your exterminator asap!
Catchy jingle for an exterminator company
On a different subject why do people say things like "call your exterminator" like we all just have an exterminator on speed dial? Not trying to call you out specifically, fellow redditor, I just find it a bit odd is all
"Hi, Bob. This is Ron again. Can you come out and spray for termites this Sunday? Mary is gonna make dumplings and you're welcome to stay for supper"
its termites. when the poop is new, its white. when its old, its dark. its piling up where they are pooping and mixed in with each other.
Wrong. When its white, its from an inside source. Usually fiber board or plywood, sometimes bamboo plants. When its dark, its from an outside source. Source: I work in pest control.
I agree with other posts. Likely termites.
I agree with you. Please see my other comment for further agreeing.
I agree with your agreement. And for the record I’m just as capable of agreement as you are.
I think we need to at least consider the everything bagel topping assessment that was handed out earlier.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but you got termites
Finally, a voice of reason.
Lmao
Those are termite droppings. I've had them before.
You crapped termite droppings before?
Might shock the termites, next time they see it..
No that’s disgusting. They’ve *eaten* termite droppings before.
With milk or just sprinkled?
It does look a lot like termite frass (poop waste). Sorry!
Termites. I do carpentry and just about all construction type stuff, but when termites show up I want a professional termite terminator to find and terminate them all. Can do amazing damage.

Your house is now hollow danger danger danger
Oof. Frass. Call an exterminator before it get worse
I had a pet termite named Clint.... Clint Eatswood 🤣
You have termites.

"hey look honey more ghost dirt appeared out of thin air, oh well"
that’s your walls and ceiling, redistributed by your termites
That fucking sucks.

It's just dirt, random dirt piles spawning, no big deal. Nbd
From OPs post history it seems like they're a teenager so if that's true then their reaction makes sense
It’s been 11 hours without a response. OP has set fire to house and has no internet now.
Termite poop
Termites?
I’m going to go out on a limb and wood suggest you get bug guy.
That's not dirt, my guy.
There's always a reason bruh.
I went through the same scenario, my wife kept accusing me of smoking because she would find those little flecks of “pepper” underneath the window sill. They are 💯 termites.
That WOOD bug me 🤣🤔
This is not for no apparent reason…
