As luck would have it -

- I have a termite problem. It's located in my bathroom in the corner between the bathtub and a wall. I noticed a small pile of waste (looks like dark sawdust) just outside a little hole. I cleaned it up. It appeared again this morning, and was followed by a little brown insect. I thought termites are white in color, but I checked up on these home invaders, and certain kinds like the drywood termite and subterranean termite are brown, light brown, even red.

So one more thing to take care of tomorrow morning before I rush off to school - get the leasing office to call in the terminators. I hate bugs.

are they not woodlice? i have lots of them here... been drowning them (feeling evil)... they love the shower tray for some unknown reasons...

if they are woodlice -- they are quite harmless... except of course they are not something you'd like to see everyday...

hope the terminators will exterminate them soon.

Don't think they're woodlice. they don't look like the fat little bugs. =) I know - these things go for the shower tray like a bee to honey. Anyway, the guy is coming over to spray the little hole this Friday.

Don't do anything around that area or the termites will move to another place
