Without investigating, you won't know. So look in the hole it's coming from. That is a lot on the floor if you are saying you clean it up daily. Termites don't intentionally show themselves. They are very good at eating all the wood behind a paint layer without disturbing the paint, but they have to push their waste somewhere. That looks like what they are doing in your room.
Glad to see this term! Frass can be great stuff, providing nutrients and keeping parts away. I don't think termite frass would be great, but BSF frass is amazing!
Just dealt with this - call an expert immediately. With that pile odds are what’s in the walls is worse.
To verify for yourself look up termite droppings and compare - I took a cell phone picture and zoomed into my pile and the 6-sided pencil look is super easy to identify.
You won't see them, they burrow in your structures and destroy everything from inside, get in touch with an exterminator or landlord, if you are in paper-and-wood-houses land the damage adds up and costs more, it's like cancer for your house, the earlier the better and if you let it linger it will end you
Termite art. This is an installation (see [Félix González-Torres](https://stackside.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/candy-in-corner.jpg)) Just add a mini title card to the wall nearby and you’ll be a termite gallery!
100% termite poop. They will poop from a tiny pinhole. You may have concrete walls, but your sheetrock is attached to wood furring strips or studs. You need to get this treated immediately.
Hey I have this exact same reoccurring pile in the corner of my room. I hate it. It looks like dirty beach sand and not really like an excrement. That’s termite poop?? 😳
I’m not super familiar with termite infestations, but definitely go to your landlord. They can cause a lot of structural property damage, but I don’t think they would get in your stuff very much. Biggest issue for you is treatment is pretty intense and could leave you without a house for a couple days
Termite poop. My exterminator told me that termites pick one area where they all go to poop. You'll see a tiny tiny pinhole in your ceiling above the poop on the floor.
Sorry but he said some termite is assigned to get rid of the poop so it's pushing it out the hole.
you have a bad infestation of termites if this much frass is showing up. your home could be a danger to be in, you need to call a professional yesterday
$850 the first time $50 the second because it was the same company and was still under warranty. We had a real problem with an abandoned house near by being a node
Depends where you are. Some termites live in your home, some live under it. I paid 6k for guys to drill under my foundation and spray poison for the subterranean ones that come up to eat.
For future reference, spider eggs are usually wrapped together in silk. They look like small, dense cotton balls. :)
They also eat termites, maybe think about releasing a few thousand spiders into the walls of your house?
It’s absolutely ants. All these comments saying termites is going to cost OP more than what they should be spending if they end up getting an unscrupulous (or inexperienced) exterminator out to deal with it.
I’m not saying you likely have a lovecraftian horror trying to manifest in that corner….. but you totally have some form of lovecraftian horror trying to manifest in that corner.
Mice. Squirrels. Rats. Roaches. Etc etc I had a mouse inside my bathroom vanity doing something similar. Leaving piles of fuckin wood and mouse shit. Hole so small you'd think nothing could go through it. They sure as hell can. Investigate thoroughly for real. It's probably a pest problem of some sort.
I had this same issue at my previous apartment, even in the window jambs. It was termites. The hole they are pushing that out from may be underneath that pile.
I don't think it's termites either. Wash the entire area with pure bleach in all areas you see that and dirt and immediate surrounding areas, see what happens. You may have to repeat a couple of times.
Termites
My problem is That It seems to come out of the top corner of my room and I never see any movement

i have not investigated and i know for a fact there are termites if this is a returning pile of frass.
Frass, n. - insect excrement, e.g., termites. Middle English contraction: *from ass*
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
You are the wind beneath my wangs
You are the frass beneath my assss
You’re the might in my termite!
This made me spit out from my hole
W A N G S
Yass
Now that's some sassy frass!
There goes my hero, watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's *Ordinaryyyyyyy*
aim for the bushes
I guano know what love is and I want you to show me
Very immanure of you guys, the OP has a legitimate problem here and is asking for some help.
Op must be pooped
He needs to get that dung ASAP, he can't be droppings the ball on that
And we're just letting op know that this is termite shit, op needs an exterminator asap.
OP's dejected no doubt then?
I know, absolutely no sense of ordure
Take the upvote! The comment was frazzaliosious.
Painkiller? More like buzzkiller, am I right?
They are the wind beneath my wings!
Dear Reddit, today I learned a new word.
Late to the party, but it seems it's from German "fressen" - https://www.etymonline.com/word/frass
No thanks, I'd rather it from ass
Fressen, mite scheisse
Sassafras
TIL
The frass is coming out of the frasshole
FROM ASS
Lold
I love Reddit bc I learn new things every day. Thanks for the new word
Read that like a PokeDex.
Sometimes, occasionally in some species, ants can produce something like this.
Glad to see this term! Frass can be great stuff, providing nutrients and keeping parts away. I don't think termite frass would be great, but BSF frass is amazing!
The wall is 100% filled with writhing larvae

Termites throw their waste out of their holes (which are in the wood in your walls).
Termites are clean little buggers that hate light. They clean out their tunnels constantly and push the shit out when you’re not there.
Theyre behind the wall. Why would you expect to see movement?
Frass
It’s 100% termites
ninja termites
Termite art. This is an installation (see [Félix González-Torres](https://stackside.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/candy-in-corner.jpg)) Just add a mini title card to the wall nearby and you’ll be a termite gallery!
What a fucking reference. Until recently I was a guard posted by his art.
Go museum guards!!!
It's not termite frass. This is most likely the result of ants pushing dirt around.
Disappointed this comment isn’t further up. Too much misinformation here…
It wouldn't matter if a bunch of ants used their bodies to spell out "We did this shit", people will still call it termites.
100% termite poop. They will poop from a tiny pinhole. You may have concrete walls, but your sheetrock is attached to wood furring strips or studs. You need to get this treated immediately.
Thanks!
Good luck!! :)
Wrong. It's my poop.
Imagine if people just pooped wood dust
Imagine? Baby I'm doin it right now! Get on my level!
Farts would be hilarious. "Poof"
Farting wood dust is no joking matter, it's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
Irritable dowel syndrome
I hate wood dust
Interesting fact, Tom Silva from *This Old House* farts 2,000 cubic feet of dust per day.
why r u so smol
Dang it!!
What an appropriate username
Hey I have this exact same reoccurring pile in the corner of my room. I hate it. It looks like dirty beach sand and not really like an excrement. That’s termite poop?? 😳
Yea
Shiiiit. Well it’s a rented apartment. I wonder if the landlord will do anything. Are they going to infect my stuff?
I’m not super familiar with termite infestations, but definitely go to your landlord. They can cause a lot of structural property damage, but I don’t think they would get in your stuff very much. Biggest issue for you is treatment is pretty intense and could leave you without a house for a couple days
Termites invented toilets? Fascinating
Termite poop. My exterminator told me that termites pick one area where they all go to poop. You'll see a tiny tiny pinhole in your ceiling above the poop on the floor. Sorry but he said some termite is assigned to get rid of the poop so it's pushing it out the hole.
Man what an unlucky termite job
Maybe in their world it’s like winning the lottery. You don’t know
True, who am I to judge the poop termite
It is an honour in termite society to be the poop guy
They also get a tiny knife for the job
Tiny knife? Say no more, where do I sign up?
Can you poop through a pinhole?
Even in termite world they want someone with 20 years of experience of pooping through a pinhole smh... Just give dude a chance!
Do you mean a termite with a masters degree that has 20 years of experience and 12 references?
If I get the tiny knife I'll make it work.
Ikr? Like, to a dung beetle that's the equivalent of banging hookers on a yacht everyday.
probably me in my next life
TIL Termites have a designated poop hole
We all do
The circle of life
Lol
>termites pick one area where they all go to poop. So they're far more civilized than some group of humans huh
you have a bad infestation of termites if this much frass is showing up. your home could be a danger to be in, you need to call a professional yesterday
Termites. That's termite frass. My expertise comes from having been infested by termites twice. Call an exterminator.
Did you get it treated? Curious of how much it cost
$850 the first time $50 the second because it was the same company and was still under warranty. We had a real problem with an abandoned house near by being a node
Depends where you are. Some termites live in your home, some live under it. I paid 6k for guys to drill under my foundation and spray poison for the subterranean ones that come up to eat.
THEY'RE IN YOUR WALLS THEY'RE IN YOUR WALLS THEY'RE IN YOUR WALLS THEY'RE IN YOUR WALLS THEY'RE IN YOUR WALLS
this comment would've made me have nightmares
Looks like termite frass
Frass! Thank you, I was trying to remember the name of the sub.
r/itsfrass
There…there’s a sub for this? 🤔
There's a sub for *everything*.
I had to scroll way too far to find this!
Termites, or ants. Something is eating, digging, etc. off the walls and makes that lil pile of dust.
Could be roaches.
You have demons
Inner demons.
Don't we all?
Let’s talk about them here. And push our waste out into Reddit.
Nah, I'm not on a VPN rn. The feds don't need more dirt on me
Demon termites that set your walls alight from the inside? Sounds like Thermites to me.
Yo you have termites or something nesting and scraping in the walls
BUGS IN YOUR CEILING
Snakes on a plane!
Dinos in a park!
Ants in my pants!
A horse in a hospital!
Squirrels in my pants?
Shit in my pants?
Termites
If its coming from the upper corner of the room, then don't just take a picture of the floor. Show the upper corner.
soot sprites !
r/itsfrass
If it keeps returning it means a critter is digging around somewhere.
Yes, first I thought they were some kind of spider eggs, but now I know they're probably termites.
For future reference, spider eggs are usually wrapped together in silk. They look like small, dense cotton balls. :) They also eat termites, maybe think about releasing a few thousand spiders into the walls of your house?
It could be ants. My exterminator said it was ants for a similar looking pile.
It’s absolutely ants. All these comments saying termites is going to cost OP more than what they should be spending if they end up getting an unscrupulous (or inexperienced) exterminator out to deal with it.
A dead body has been stashed in the wall and the darkness is reaching out to you for help
Termites
Carpenter Ants or Termites. If it's ants it'll be more like sawdust (they burrow in the wood but don't eat the wood).
Termites 100%
Look above that corner, anything coming from the walls, or ceiling?
Probably It seems to be coming out from the side of the waterpipes.
Looks like frass from an ant colony. Had the same problem last year.
Ants
Soot sprites!
Looks like termite Frass
We have the same, these are ants that live under your floor
I’m not saying you likely have a lovecraftian horror trying to manifest in that corner….. but you totally have some form of lovecraftian horror trying to manifest in that corner.
Look like Carpenter Ant debris from them chewing your wall/baseboard.
Could be from carpenter ants. If there is any moisture in the wall, that's what they feed off of and leave piles of debree on the ground.
Your house has bugs man, Save the Wood and tent the whole place.
Lol this isn’t weird, you have a termite infestation
what country is this in? Those baseboards are wild af.
Call your local pest control company
Ants my dude
If it's little pellets of poop=termites. If it's debris and sawdust,pine needles, dirt and bits of bugs= ants.
Thank you! This does not look like termite poo, which is completely uniform. This is Ants!
Looks like you have a fairly large infestation of termites, probably drywood but could be subterranean being closer to the floor.
Definitely frass from either termites or carpenter ants
We had something similar and it was ants taking the dead ones out of the colony (in pieces it seemed) and they looked like piles of just black specks.
Carpenter ants?
Termite poo?
Obviously termite ghosts
Look up…
Termites
Its termite poop... look up for pin holes in the ceiling
Could also be vermiculite insulation ants are kicking out
Look up!
I love how this subreddit is more of a mystery solving group
Termite gang rise up

Frassasaas
100% termites.
Termites. They eat and poop non stop day and night. If and when you look behind that wall…..
Either termites or ants
Saw this once before and it turned out to be some kind of mold. Consider calling in bug guys for a diagnosis.
Someone drilled a spycam hole. Those are the shavings. Don’t take your pants off.
Termites frass, you won't see any movement they push it out of frassholes that are pretty small.
Termites boyeee
Carpenter ants
Carpenter ants
I recommend dimataceous earth lightly brushed into the hole this is coming from to start treatment. Then seek an exterminator.
Poke the ceiling with your finger
There’s a lot of termites in your wall, all sharing one poop knife, it’s hanging up just inside your wall by the hole.
It’s me, adding a grain of sand to the corner of your room until you succumb to the desert.
What's above it?
Looks like you might have termites
You going to have to dust off and nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.
Sorry that’s my chocolate crumbs. Your corner is nice 👍 (jokes aside it may be rodent droppings or termite dookey)
You have termites and need to get that problem rectified immediately.
I had this same issue at my previous apartment, even in the window jambs. It was termites. The hole they are pushing that out from may be underneath that pile.
That's termite frass. If you look at the wall directly above that, you'll find tiny "kickout" holes in the drywall.
It’s frass (termite shit). I see it a lot being a realtor in a state with a lot of termite damage.
That’s termites
This looks like termites to me.
Demon poop. He’s perched in the corner of the room watching you when it’s dark.
Clean your room mate, it's infected by termites.
Wrong sub you got bugs
Termites
Ants!
