I suspect that I have termites in a wooden picture frame (which comes from a third-world country.) the reason I think there are termites is because yesterday I found a little pile of - well, it looked like flour or corn meal, but now I think it's sawdust, - right under where the picture hangs. when I mentioned it to my husband he said he found some there a few days ago.
anyone had this? do you think it's termites? and if so, what should I do? can I somehow kill the termites or do I have to just throw out the whole frame?
someone please answer!
thanks

the frame is new, but not that new. I think a few months by now. so I don't know why this just started happening. unless they've been happily chewing away for a while and it just started to fall out?

I would call an exterminator in to make sure you dont have termites in your house also. They should be able to give you a better Idea of what to do with the picture frame

I am renting so I don't actually care if there are termites in my house... sorry, not that altruistic! anyway I doubt it because I never saw this except near this one picture frame which comes from a third world country, so I don't know why I even accepted it.
I know I could hire someone but that seems like overkill for one little picture frame... not worth the money, although I like the frame a lot, it is unique and brightens up the room.
