look around the outside of the house for termite tubes. they look a dirt
trail about the diameter of a pencil going from the ground to under the
siding or stucco. If you have an older home they might of stuccoed all the
way down to the ground if so you would want to get the stucco cut above the
ground. I believe if you have termite tubes there Subterranean. I been told
the can also get threw crakes in the slab. The bad part to all this is you
can't come close to determining the damage until you start tearing into
things.
