The realos are now saying there is a termite infestation in the house because of this.
Is it possible for termites to have taken hold in just this short time? I saw no signs of infestation, no mud tubes, climbing the concrete to the house.
I'd be grateful of any advice.
no they have come from somewhere else - dead tree stump or other infestation and top be honest if you know there was an infestation next door then you can bet your bottom dollar that they moved to easier pickings
