Ask the Orkin Man

I have a small pinhole in a wall in one of my bedrooms. Could you please tell me what kind of pest it might be?

Monday, June 01, 2009

Question: I have a small pinhole in a wall in one of my bedrooms. There is
something that looks like a peppery colored sawdust coming out of it. I've
wiped it away several times, but it returns. What kind of pest do I have?

 

ANSWER  Not sure what you have, could be a termite, could be a beetle. It would be best to get a professional pest control company to look at the hole and figure out what you've got.
