I hope I can find my way back to this board because I need help. We discus= sed this before I think -- I live in Florida and had my house treated with = Termador(sp?) in 2007 -- did it as a precaution because several houses arou= nd me had subterrainium termites. Recently I found a pile of dead bugs on = the marble window sill in my dining room window -- everything around the wi= ndow is metal. The bugs did look like very tiny termites -- yet they had t= he body shape of an ant. My neighbor took a sample to a friend of hers who= keeps up with different bugs as part of her job (not sure what she does) a= nd she said they were not termites -- they have the body of an ant -- but s= he doesn't know what they are. I cannot find out how they got inside ... e= xcept a very small hole between the marble and wall is possible. Today I f= ound ordinary ants coming in there ... there have been stories in the paper= about dry wood termites but I can't find any pictures of fully developed o= nes. Does anyone know -- are they shaped like sub.termites or are they mor= e like ants? I have a call into the pest control company that treated my h= ouse but I would like to know more about what I might be dealing with befor= e I talk to them. The treatment they used doesn't work on dry wood termite= s I am pretty sure ..
