Most homeowners do not care to venture in their crawlspace, which is a prime area for termites to enter the home. The garage is also a good way for termites to achieve access to the home. The first picture is a termite shelter (mud) tube which they build to travel through, getting started in a garage. They come through the expansion joint at the block foundation and will build their tubes up to the wood. The second picture is a piece of wood with termites. The workers are creamish in color, eat cellulose out of the wood, then return to the nest to feed others. Occasionally when in the garage look for signs of these tubes. It's good to inspect the crawl area annually to detect signs of termites. Call us if we can be of assistance @
