thanks

A termite is a termite is a termite. Damage will come no matter the numbers. There are both SUB-TERRAIN and DRYWOOD termites. Assuming his are white like in the link I posted, and even what he described, he could still potentially have a very serious problem. They're hollowing out the very structure of this cabinet, taking away from the sturdiness it once had, it will if not today, begin to crumble.

Trust me on this. At the very least get them sprayed with TERMIDOR or something of the like.
MrTroy:
Well I was too terrified to bring the cabinet in the house last night So I left it outside. At least now I know where they came from. They came from the actual wood of my porch which means I have to call the land lord about this. No matter.I checked the cabinet like crazy this morning and I saw nothing on it. No nest... no eggs. I'm still scared to bring it in the house. I dunno if I should risk a whole fleet of them resting behind a microswitch in the coin door charging and invading my other cabinets.
ChadTower:
If they came FROM your house, then you have a bigger problem than your cabs.
divemaster127:
much bigger problem, they can get into everything

Ooooh, so true.

You mentioned something about telling the landlord, maybe when/if he takes of it, he'll have the house tented. Then you leave the cabs inside, and kill 2 problems at the same time.
