What do you think this is from?

[mnicholet]

Dirt in little piles under stucco against foundation. I originally thought it was insects (carpenter ants) but it was dirt/sand not wood/sawdust. Any ideas?

I have to agree 100%. I see them all the time down here. Actually that colony looks a bit tame compared to others I've seen. I walked into an electrical room in a building I was inspecting a few months back and you almost needed waders it was soo bad. Some of the piles must have been 6 to 8 inches high!

Do fire ants come on red trucks with big hoses?

[Doug Edwards, CMI]
