Oh god... what do you do... termites?
MrTroy:
I believe these termites aren't drywood ones. They're all white. At least I hope they aren't the dangerous kind :-\

Okay , what would you like to know? Also, I forgot to mention, try not to confuse a termite and a carpenter ant. Both very destructive, but feed in different ways.
Please don't laugh at this, but are there droppings around your cab? It will look almost like sawdust, but in all actuality, it's feces?
Also, pictures help. Do you have any pics you can post of the damage, esp. the holes/tunnels they're making?

If that cab is inside your home, please if you don't listen to anything else I say, put it outside NOW, or at least in the garage.
Wade:
Those in the picture look almost exactly like the regular ground-nesting termites found in PA, WV, etc. I wouldn't worry about them. They can only do damage if they find their way back to the colony. Which they won't, in this case. Just kill the ones you found and move on.

ive worked for years with termites, do not worry about termites they have to go back into the ground every 24 hrs, because of water, they cannot live above ground, period so if all you found was 6 other than the damage that may already be done, they are dead
thanks
