If you’re an entomologist (I am not), I’ll defer to your expertise. I have no dog in this fight and was simply sharing photos I took of a friends home when she asked me for assistance.

She called Dean’s, with whom her recent deceased husband had fortunately renewed the protection plan.

The next day a tech came out and examined the damage. They agreed that it was termites and paid for the repairs and additional treatment. Again, I have no interest in this, financial or otherwise, and was simply sharing what I observed and learned.

That being said, a quick search of termite damage on moulding, revealed many images which were exactly what this lady experienced.

As other posters have mentioned, get the service or don’t. It’s a completely personal decision.
