Mostly found in South FL, some reported in Tampa...

They do not "bore" or "digest" but "displace" concrete as if to be eating, using their little itsy bitsy teeny weeny mouths to move tiny bits of concrete. Sorry I forgot to use precise wording when claiming "eat" and words matter in an extreme literal way on totv.

Next question: can or could they they migrate or show up in the T V. ? Who wants to roll a dice to find out? Not me so I choose to treat as if they could. I treat the perimeter of my concrete slab. Just because one has a "block" or concrete slab house one might want to still consider treating the home.
