Thank you for your honesty. I had no idea what they looked like. I love to pick up free furniture and even pick up discarded pieces from the neighbors and refinish it, but this has made me think twice before taking any more free furniture.
I know the feeling. Just found this kind of frass inside a dresser and evidence of subterranean termites. So that means 2 different species of termites we are going to be dealing with. Also, your neighbor most likely has them too since it’s a duplex so you guys can at least split the cost of a tent fumigation.
The other owner and I split the fumigation cost. Although, it took some convincing - initially, they didn't believe there was a termite problem. Even after seeing this video. Instead choosing to believe that the nightstand was infested. This was not true since I bought the nightstand new and you could also see that the termites came through the floor and then into the nightstand. Good times!
I’ve been seeing that for years but only around one dresser that looked identical to yours. It wasn’t until I started seeing them in the room that I took action. Just broke it down and tossed it but I’m hoping I don’t have to fumigate the house. It seems they really liked that wood specifically.
How to get rid of this m really sad all my cubboard has been eaten inspite of me cleaning n it started to come up now n this happen in summer... I use some woodbored liquid spray and din work .
Pretty much you have to tent your house and fumigate periodically - like every few years. That's just the reality of it. Trying to exterminate small areas within your house is akin to playing Whack-a-Mole.
@@silvermica is there no temporary solution this is my rented house and it's eating the attached cupboard ... I neend a temporary solution all my paperwork has been eaten . N keep applying kerosene oil and salt liquid on the corner..as I saw in one of the video ...
I noticed that same dust stuff coming from my vintage speakers when I moved them from a desk to the floor. I do know what I am going to do. So far I sprayed roach and ant killer as that's what I have on hand and hope it seeps in the holes deep enough
Egad. That'll probably work. But, all the bugs are still inside though. As for my nightstand, I took my nightstand outside and sprayed it down with some type of termite spray that I had bought from the hardware store. I left the nightstand outside for a few days before cleaning it up and bringing it back inside. After that I had the house tented and fumigated. The thing I understand about termites is that they always comeback and all you can really do is fumigate every so many years.
If it's drywood termites, get couple of electric heaters and overheat the room to at least 120 deg F (of course close the door to keep hot air in the room) for few hours. Do this when it's very hot outside (100 deg F?). If you can overheat the queen (embedded in some piece of lumber) and she dies, then that should take care of the drywood termite colony. Of course this would not work on subterranean termite colony as the bulk of colony is located underground.
@@netsssanettt I'm sitting on a mouse of dust right now. Just kidding. Did they come back? Not that I can see. But, the thing about termites - once you see them - it's way too late! Also, every house will get termites - therefore fumigating (tenting) should be done regularly. Ideally anyway. I'm just glad they never got to my guitars.
I have similar issue but found out the termites early.Anyhow my wardrobe is gone but now I am scared having a wooden wardrobe but how long I can sit with all my stuff spread in living room? did you get the termites again after fumigation?
I haven't seen termites since I fumigated (tented the house) back in 2017 or 2018 (I forget which year it was). However, that said, I think termites are a lot like ants. They are everywhere and they will be back at some point. Realistically, you need to fumigate every so many years.
The comments are going on and on about the damn nightstand. At least you could see exactly what the termites did to it and decided it was worth keeping. I'd be more worried about the unseen damage inside the walls and floors, afraid the floor would buckle under me.
I'm still here - the building still here - so good enough I guess. But, yeah, I'm sure it's a mess in the floors and walls. The funny thing was at the time I tented/fumigated the house (2017) the other owners (i'm in a duplex) blew it off - saying it was just this nightstand that brought the termites in. Of course, that was total nonsense - besides I bought the nightstand brand new from Restoration Hardware two decades earlier. And, just a smidgeon of internet research would reveal just how common termites are and that tenting your house every few years isn't really that unusual. Where I live, every house has or will have termites at some point.
@@silvermica ohhh makes sense now. I couldn't tell the difference. I was in my basement a few days ago and seen a little wood damage by those bastards.
Thanks for putting the video up... Spray the Night Stand Though! I'd Burn it! I actually brought 2 old adirondak chairs home for outside... they too were termite infested. I put them out for the trash and someone scooped them up and took them home!
I bought this nightstand brand new many years ago - the termites ate their way through the floor into one of the legs of this nightstand. I never posted the second video with the nightstand removed - you could see a little hole exactly where the leg of the nightstand sat. In the hole termites could be seen peering through. And, just so you know, I fumigated the house last year - problem solved.
Trying to figure out what bugs I have. they seemed to go for my wood desk and are coming out from cracks in the floor and wall, but they don't look this big. They are the size of very small ants, but different body. Also not afraid of light, so at least not cockroaches either.
if they look a bit like very tiny termites but you are seeing them around baseboards/cracks then they are probably book lice, harmless and typically not hard to get rid of without pesticides. Just need a good dehumidifier and a lot of patience.
@@otoshii I watched some videos and I think the Book Lice look very similar in some cases but are bigger and move faster than what I had. Seems close though!
Shortly after creating this video in 2017/18 (I forget the year) I had the house fumigated (tented) and have never seen a termite since (as of 2021). I'm sure the termites were in other locations that I could not see (which is why fumigation is the most realistic option).
It turns out that termites actually make wonderful pets. My nightstand now doubles as a home for thousands of Drywood termites. It’s an amazing symbiotic relationship.
Years ago I had a bamboo/wicker nightstand, over a year I started noticing odd things like dust, then at night I could hear slight strange clicking/popping noises coming from it! I thought I was going crazy! I noticed holes and I started poking the holes and opening them up with a pin and surprise! Termites! It was disgusting. I threw it out, thankfully it never got to the walls. The table was imported from Indonesia and I believe they were dormant until they were in ideal tempt. Never buy BAMBOO /WICKER FURNITURE THAT HASNT BEEN TREATED AND/OR SEALED! Hopefully they arnt in your walls yet, I’d throw your nightstand out. Good luck ! Do an update of what happened! Cheers
I never posted the video showing the termites coming through the floorboard/carpet - exactly where the nightstand came in contact with the floor. I paid for fumigation shortly after discovering all of this.
@@netsssanettt I had my house tented way back in 2017 I think. It wasn't cheap. Maybe $4000 for both sides of the house. I'm in a duplex so I paid half (although my neighbors initially wanted me to pay for the whole thing). Don't buy a duplex if you don't have to.
My home has nothing but wood dust now. Just kidding. I fumigated shortly after I shot this video - about a year ago. All is fine. I just thought it was incredible these dry termites made their way to the second story and then THROUGH the nightstand.
Was your whole house infested or just the nightstand the reason I ask because I have that exact night stand a d I have termites in it I payed a lot of money for this night stand it's real wood in fact my whole bedroom set is did you have to get your whole house done
It was the house. I fumigated (tented) the house shortly after shooting this video. I never posted the video - but after removing the nightstand you could see one hole from the floor to the leg of the nightstand where the termites were coming through. BTW - I've got a house full of Restoration Hardware (Michael's) furniture, Yes, that WAS expensive.
@@mmapitsisemenya2177 - Don't recall exactly, since this was three years ago. I remember buying a can of something to kill termites from the hardware store, then I called professional exterminators and they tented the house for several days.
No, I bought this new in 2005. The termites came from the floor and into the nightstand. I have another video that I never posted that showed the hole in the floor and the termites coming out of that hole.
@@silvermica There are two reasons in my opinion - there are not many these termites in Canada due to the colder climate plus California I think is suffering from the lack of drinking water. In addition to that here in Canada, we have free medical coverage.
@@oneundecided - I'm lucky in that don't need free medical coverage. Water is a problem here in California. I'm from this area - so I don't have much of a reason to move - outside of retirement plans (maybe).
My king size bed was infested with flying termite.....so i used terminator and taped the entire bed.... hopefully even though i see them coming out of bed they get stuck on the tape and die eventually
Interesting... Any idea which part of your house they flew in from? and which State do you live in because as you probably already know these are the least common of the 3 species
Hi silvermica, I came across your video while looking up for those little light brown stuff on the bed frame as well as my floor. Do you still remember how many termites were there in your lamp stand?
er... I didn't count them. Maybe ten or twenty inside the nightstand during a given moment in time. I'm sure the house had hundreds or even thousands of termites. The termites ate their way through the floorboards of the house and into the nightstand. I shot a video of that too - but never posted. By the way, I fumigated the house in 2017. All is fine (for now).
Those are fat healthy termites. Ours are black here in Texas. So your home has it to. nooo My home just got termites and it takes 60-90 days for bait to work. They started crawling on my kids floors even after they sprayed.
I hope you just threw the nightstand out casue you dont get rid of termites with sprays. If you have issues with termites and thats why you want the home fumigated thats not how you kill termites. All you need to do is purchase a chemical such as termidor and if you have concrete around the outside of your home drill holes 16inchs apart all around the home and inject the chemical diluted with water into each hole. If no concrete is around the home you just need to dig a trench 6 inchs wide by 6 inchs deep all around the home and apply the chemical to the ground same amount every 16inchs then use a hose to have it penetrate the ground. This will kill any termites since they will bring the chemical to the nest and kill everything plus prevent new termites for up to a year some chemicals say up to 5 years. If you do it yourself you will save yourself thousands. The only time you should have to fumigate or do a heat treatment is for horrible flea, and bedbug issues since roachs are very easy to kill now adays within 30days using a spray , insect growth regulator and bait such as max force or advion. The Igr is basicly a birth control for the bugs and makes them want to eat more bait and costs less then 100$ to do yourself.
I fumigated in August of 2017. It was complicated for me because I own half of a duplex (both units need to be fumigated at the same time). Convincing the other owners this needed to be done was difficult - but I was successful and was able to fumigate a few months after I shot that video.
Oh yeh, those are termite droppings, also those fuckers will go through and infest everything, wood, concrete, you name it. There are commercial product to get rid of them before they spread.
This nightstand cost $1000. This is high end furniture. All that aside - this was 5 years ago and the problem has long since been resolved (I called the exterminators)

I've determined that there is no realistic way to get rid of termites other than fumigating. And, you have to do that - somewhat - periodically.

@@silvermica how much did it cost
@@cjbfire95 - I'm having trouble remembering the cost (this was two years ago), but for both houses I believe around $3000.
@@silvermica Thank you
Madness.
They can barely walk, how the hell do they eat wood?
Good question. I'll have to ask a termite for more details on their lifestyle.
It was probably was gonna eat the smarties
bro get your house inspected like right now
Problem was solved many years ago - tented the house shortly after the video was made.
Watching this on shrooms....lmfao
And, you have this in your room ... why? And, against your wall & base boards along the floor? Wow ... sorry. Good luck.
The problem was solved five years ago. All is fine now.
Oh yeh, those are termite droppings, also those fuckers will go through and infest everything, wood, concrete, you name it. There are commercial product to get rid of them before they spread.
You need to get an ant eater quick
Chickens work as well - they love to eat termites.
Why not just get rid of the nightstand? There like $20 bucks at any second hand store or you can find them at an auction. I mean seriously.
This nightstand cost $1000. This is high end furniture. All that aside - this was 5 years ago and the problem has long since been resolved (I called the exterminators)
Not the bore worms!
Egad!
Call truly Nolen no need to tenet They do liquid treatment that are just as efficient if not better no need to leave your home
Actually, I've grown fond of these termites. I consider them my pets.
Throw the whole night stand out😑
