g'day rick,

waht you are seeing is probably the wroker termites gathering food,
the nest and the queen will be far removed from that tree. and once
disturbed the other termites that may have visited there as well will
move to somewhere else.

not all sub-terrainian termites attack homes but all you can do is
make sure your termite inspections and treatments are up to date.

just because there are termites in the agrden doesn't mean they are in
or going to come into the house.

Well, it gives me a bit more piece of mind if I can guarantee exterminate
any I've picked up along the way with these wood gatherings I'm doing.
