Found this fun stuff just 2 months after moving in. Covered up and disguised as a "fully renovated home". Ignored by paid professionals who I thought would have my back during my 1st time home buying experience. Boy was I wrong. Have since gotten *most* of the damaged fixed and have also sought and succeeded in getting justice for the hell this house has put me through. Enjoy :)
Located in the Midwest
when I pulled the wood up found these that then burrowed back underground. the wood is right next to my house should I be worried about termites getting in my home.
Yea, Twas termites. Trees on bare ground holding up the beams. Termite highway.
Replaced with lvl good to go. Luckily wet location bugs, really only liked the area around the steam vent in the basement
How cooked are we? Moved in October, now that it’s nicer out, we finally had a chance to clean up the garage. The silver stuff seems to be a board type thing put up, and that looks like the most of what they were thriving on. Planning on removing all of that and getting an exterminator out. We broke all that we could and vacuumed it up. Only saw 1 live larvae and a few dead ones.
Trying to identify this insect. Any info would be great because they are quite small and they just started popping up in my bathroom recently a few at a time. I think it's an earwig but not 100% sure since I'm not an expert.

I live in KY. I found this single bug in my window sill tonight and cant concretely identify it. the pointed tail side of it and bent antenna is what makes me think it might not be a termite?!
