Hi all,
Yesterday I found a ~1-2' stretch of very quick moving termites/red ants crawling butted up against my house and concrete foundation. They were heavily infesting the wet mulch that sits right there, but were also crawling up under some siding. I have no known or suspected leaks in that area, so I'd think the area under the siding would be dry.
I sprayed it vigorously with a insert killer/insect guard by Ortho and they all died. I scraped up the area again and sprayed again thoroughly. This morning, I went outside and there appeared to be no living bugs in the vicinity.
Should I be concerned or were they most likely just after the mulch? As a side note, some of my concrete foundation was actually pitted where they were and looked like they were crawling into it - can these guys burrow into concrete?
